The Sword & the Pen - Regina Spektor

Don’t let me get out of this kiss

Don’t let me say what I say

The things that scare us today

what if they happen someday

Don’t let me out of your arms

For now

What if the sword kills the pen

What if the god kills the man

And if he does it with love

Well then it’s death from above

And death from above is still a death

I don’t want to live without you

I don’t want to live without you

I don’t want to live

I don’t want to live

Without you

For those who still can recall

The desperate colors of fall

The sweet caresses of May

Only in poems remain

No one recites them these days

For the shame

So what if nothing is safe

So what if no one is saved

No matter how sweet

No matter how brave

What if each to his own lonely grave

I don’t want to live without you

I don’t want to live without you

I don’t want to live

I don’t want to live

Without you
