Could it be I was the one that you held so deep in the night

On the back staircase you fell to your knees with tears in your eyes.

All that you suffered, all the disease

You couldn't hide it, hide it from me.

All alone scared in your room, would you swear there's nobody home

On the bed laying awake as you prayed he'd leave you alone.

I'll let the darkness swallow me whole

I need to find you, need you to know.

I'll be your friend in the daylight again

There we will be, like an old enemy

Like the salt and the sea.

And they wrote all these prescriptions, they wrote me off

Like a heel

Yea the doctors with their medicine left me

To rock in my filth.

From the destruction, out of the flame

You need a villain, give me a name.

I'll be your friend in the daylight again

There we will be, like an old enemy

I'll be your friend in the daylight again

There we will be, like an old enemy

Like the salt and the sea

Like the salt and the sea.
