Lyrics[edit | edit source]
your eyes they send me
to eternity
your heart may cast me down
to hell and down
but lately it's your love
its comdemnation enough
identify
please identify
if it's me you want
standing by your side
identify
these tears of mine
am I lonely
or am I just alive
and let time decide
who and what will stand its test
of love
your hands were speaking no
I felt the movement go
the ice was breaking so
I wonder why that I'd
identify with you my love
to leave me empty
and see if I'd survive
for every questioned hour
for every second devoured
you let me wonder you
into a myth that i missed
identify
please identify
if it's me you want
standing by your side
identify
these tears of mine
am i lonely
or am i just alive
am i lonely
or am i just alive
