Les Sampou - My Van GoghLyrics

You slip away and don't touch me so I won't break You whisper, "sleep now, you're just tired, it'll all be okay... " I try to tell you that sleep won't help When you're wishing you were someone, someone else But now you're gone, running from my pain All I really need is for you to hold me and wait While confusion spends itself and the fever breaks Words stampede from a wild fire burning a path higher and higher Saving you for last: "I don't love you"; "There's no room";" "I don't believe in you... " But, you're not listening, you don't want to hear what I say You're busy twisting, twisting my words your way It's too late for the chance to make love from pain I guess I don't blame you, you might catch it if you come too near You'd lose too much blood, my Van Gogh, to lend an ear But it'd be perfect, if after I hurt you, you say "I still love you no matter how you feel; your pain is my pain, For at least today" and you don't run, you don't go away From love and pain
