I carry the burden of losing rest Upon my shoulders And its weight seems unbearable Your tomb is where your heart is I should have told her But within is a secret so terrible To cry is to know that you're alive But my river of tears has run dry I never wanted to fool you, no But a cold heart is a dead heart And it feels like I've been buried alive by love
[Refrain:] If I should die before I wake There ain't no one my soul to take If I wake before I die Rescue me with your smile If I should die before I wake There ain't no one my soul to take If I wake before I die Rescue me with your smile
The kiss of vanity you blessed me with Spiritual woman, Then you got someone insatiable Your home is there in the darkness I should have told her Embrace the fire indestructible To die is to know that you're alive And my river of blood won't run dry I never wanted to lose you, no But a cold heart is a dead heart And it feels like I've been buried alive by love
[Refrain:] If I should die before I wake There ain't no one my soul to take If I wake before I die Rescue me with your smile If I should die before I wake There ain't no one my soul to take If I wake before I die Rescue me with your smile
Oh, it seems to cry is to know that you're alive And my river of tears has run dry I never wanted to fool you, no But a cold heart is a dead heart And a desert since all has gone A cold heart is a dead heart And it feels like I've been buried alive by love
[Refrain:] If I should die before I wake There ain't no one my soul to take If I wake before I die Rescue me with your smile If I should die before I wake There ain't no one my soul to take If I wake before I die Rescue me with your smile
I've been buried alive by love I've been buried alive by love Buried alive by love I've been buried alive by love I've been buried alive by love I've been buried alive by love
