Lyrics The Death of My Desire - White Town

Here my child
Rest your head on me
Cause I'm the safest man you'll ever meet
I'll tell you a story
I won't expect you to believe
About a boy who lost his reason to deceive

It's the death of my desire

While I grew up I hid behind a smile
I was never allowed to be an average child
And now the years have forced me to be a man
I find I can't go along with this meaningless sham

It's the death of my desire

I want to find a new way
But I can't make it on my own
I want a partner in crime
So I don't feel so alone

So come to bed
I won't disturb your sleep
Cause I've a secret I'm determined not to keep
I see you understand my point of view
You're safe because there's nothing I need from you

It's the death of my desire
