Bad (Songs of Surrender)

If I twist and turn away

If I tear myself in two again

If I could, you know I would

If I could, I would let it go

Surrender, this is a song of surrender

If I could throw this lifeless lifeline to the wind

Leave these jars of clay, you can break that, break, break

Into the lights but out of the flame

Into a time of innocence again

If I could ask for help, I know what you would say

You could only have it all, if you give it all away

You could only have it all, if you give it all away

Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

So let it go, so not to fade away

Let it go, so not to fade away

I'm wide awake, wide awake

Wide awake, I'm not sleeping

Oh, no

If they should ask

Or maybe you could tell me what I should say

'Cause all glory fades to blue and black

Blue silken sky and our burning flag

Where colours crash, collide in teenage eyes

If I could, you know I would

If I could, I would let it go

This dose ignition, dislocation

No revelation in temptation

Just isolation

So let go, so not to fade away

Let it go, so not to fade away

I'm wide awake, I'm wide awake

Wide awake, I'm not sleeping

Oh, no

Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
