I'll Die For You Today Lyrics by Alphaville

I'll Die For You Today

Come in close to me and bring me joy
Lift me higher, much higher and higher than light allows
I wanted to be everything, everything for you
I wanted you, I needed you, I thought that you did too
You built me beauty and took it all away
And I can't face another day...
I'll die for you today...

Tempt me, sweet tempest - and shower me with stars
I want to be as beautiful as you
Take me to the summit and show me
Show me all that I could ever have
You brought me everything, I ever thought I wanted
And now you take it all away
You gave me love and then you killed me blindly
I think I'll die for you today, I can't persue another way...
I'll die for you today...

Like a garden growin' in flames
A forest filled with fear of the wind
Like the moon so beautiful from afar
But shattered on the surface, full of scars
A sea with no more fish, planets without air
Whales with no more song
I know I'm gonna die with them today...
I'll die for you today...
