I know that you're not my man
But I'm clinging to you
As long as I can
I know that you're not my friend
But if it'll make you stay
I will pretend
Yes, I know that you're not my mate
& still I can't help thinking
This, this is my fate
You're all that I know
& you're nothing at all
You're all that I'm used to
& need to let go
My lover, my other
My rising, my fall
My nothing - now you are my all
I know that you're not my child
But I yearn to hold you
& take you inside
Yes, I know that you're not my dad
But still I feel worthless
When you are around
Yes, I know that you're not my kin
So how come I can't get you out
(Get out) of my skin?
You're all that I know
Yet you're no one at all
You're all that I'm used to
& fight to let go
My lover, my father
My high & my low
My nothing - now you are my all
& so I fall, I'm brave
I dive, then cave
I fight, give in, I try to fake
But I know that you're just a dream (sweet sweet dream)
& maybe it's not my doom
You're all that I've got, still you're nothing to me
You're all that I long for, yet wrong for me, dear
My sorrow, my comfort, my joy & my fault
My nothing - now you are my all
