I Die For You Today - Alphaville

Come in close to me and bring me joy

Lift me higher, much higher and higher than light allows

I wanted to be everything, everything for you

I wanted you, I needed you, I thought that you did too

You built me beauty and took it all away

And I can’t face another day…

I’ll die for you today…

Tempt me, sweet tempest — and shower me with stars

I want to be as beautiful as you

Take me to the summit and show me

Show me all that I could ever have

You brought me everything, I ever thought I wanted

And now you take it all away

You gave me love and then you killed me blindly

I think I’ll die for you today, I can’t persue another way…

I’ll die for you today…

Like a garden growin' in flames

A forest filled with fear of the wind

Like the moon so beautiful from afar

But shattered on the surface, full of scars

A sea with no more fish, planets without air

Whales with no more song

I know I’m gonna die with them today…

I’ll die for you today…
