A shared affinity with my best friends
We talked so openly, I was so touched
Between the open wounds I was caught prisoner
Before I came straight crashing down to earth
And I could not forgive my shame
I will never turn my back on you again
My gradual descent into self destruction
Enabled me to reach straight out to you
And while you listened you held me closely
I will never forget how much you pulled me through
You gave me love and gave me my name
And I will never turn my back on you again
You are my blindness, you are my bridges
You are the road on which I long to feel at home
You are my weakness, you are my substance
You are the reason I am not alone
You dedicate your life to me
And animals and other silent types
Animals, animals, animals
I was self conscious, I lost my passion
I crawled into my cemetery heart
You stood there with me, your arms wide open
And swore to never let them tear me apart
You are my prayers answered, my anchors unchained
And I will never turn my back on you again
I will never turn my back on you
I will never turn my back on you again
I will never turn my back on you
I will never turn my back on you again
I will never turn my back on you
I will never turn my back on you again
I will never turn my back on you
I will never turn my back on you again
