Intro

  What say you now?

  The door is opening on your vigil

  And i'm in my usual way

  I save my breath, knowing what you're

  Wanting me to say

  I only love you when i'm down

  You say that midnight opens its arms to me

  Leaving you alone, and i fly so far away

  Until the light blurs my vision

  And i have nowhere to roam

  I only love you when i'm down

  And i only love you when i'm down

  º

And i'm only near you when i'm gone

  º /

But one thing for you to keep in mind, you know

  I'm down all the time

Well i know you're reaching out

  And you need to feel my hand

  You want to be understood, yeah well i understand

  I know you hold precious little hope for me

  And in your hapiness

  I'm always drowning in my grief

And i only love you when i'm down

  º º

And i'm only near you when i'm gone

  º /

But one thing for you to keep in mind, you know

  I'm down all the time

  All the time, all the time, all the time
