You Have Murdered Something Fine In Me Lyrics

That whole time
Was like the terrible dream
When death comes up behind you
And you cannot move or scream
Death comes up behind you
And you cannot even scream

It was odd
It was so very odd
But when the hand fell on my shoulder
I felt the touch of God
The hand fell on my shoulder
And I felt the touch of God

And I hoped
That I would never be found
And I wished
One day you'd hear how you sound
And I wished
That I would never be found
Something fine in me has died

And I
Can't explain myself
Don't cry
Becuase the truth is a lie
Don't come by
I don't know who is inside
Something fine in me has died

It was dumb
It was terribly dumb
He wanted something from me
I guess that I had some
He wanted something from me
I happened to have some

Then he went
He went for the knife
In changing all my values
A policeman saved my life
I had to change all of my values
A policeman saved my life

And I hope
There is a way to atone
And I wish
That you would leave me alone
And I wish
There were a way to atone
Something fine in me has died

'Cause you go
Once you've had the taste
And you show
Every telltale sign
And you know
When you're being put on
Something fine in me has died

And I wish
For more than I can give back
And I hope
That you will never be back
And I hope
For more than I can give back
Something fine in me has died
Something fine in me has died
Something fine in me has died
