Know Me
When I was seven years old I thought I could fly
I leaped off my bed trying to reach the sky
My sister picked me up and wiped my tears away
Suddenly I could clearly see her dying day
Something happens when I touch another's skin
The ending is shown to me from within
I can see their fate, the details of their death
The end of their existence, the very last breath
I came close to love once, close enough to steal a kiss
As her lips touched mine I felt sadness not bliss
How could I ever make a lady my wife?
Every time we made love I'd see the end of her life
This is no gift it's the curse of the lonely
All I will ever want is for someone to know me
I leaped off my bed trying to reach the sky
My sister picked me up and wiped my tears away
Suddenly I could clearly see her dying day
Something happens when I touch another's skin
The ending is shown to me from within
I can see their fate, the details of their death
The end of their existence, the very last breath
I came close to love once, close enough to steal a kiss
As her lips touched mine I felt sadness not bliss
How could I ever make a lady my wife?
Every time we made love I'd see the end of her life
This is no gift it's the curse of the lonely
All I will ever want is for someone to know me
