Lyrics

[00:01.01] Don't let me out of this kiss
[00:07.35] Don't let me say what I say
[00:12.91] The things that scare us today
[00:18.65] what if they happen someday
[00:23.30] Don't let me out of your arms
[00:27.23] For now
[00:34.78] What if the sword kills the pen
[00:39.33] What if the god kills the man
[00:44.46] And if he does it with love
[00:49.93] Well then it's death from above
[00:55.75] And death from above is still a death
[01:03.99] I don't want to live without you
[01:08.83] I don't want to live without you
[01:13.73] I don't want to live
[01:14.78] I don't want to live
[01:16.00] Without you
[01:18.14] I don't want to live
[01:19.78] I don't want to live
[01:21.02] Without you
[01:40.99] For those who still can recall
[01:46.49] The desperate colors of fall
[01:51.99] The sweet caresses of May
[01:57.36] Only in poems remain
[02:02.95] No one recites them these days
[02:05.31] For the shame
[02:12.73] So what if nothing is safe
[02:17.41] So what if no one is saved
[02:23.02] No matter how sweet
[02:28.21] No matter how brave
[02:32.74] What if each to his own lonely grave
[02:41.96] I don't want to live without you
[02:46.51] I don't want to live without you
[02:51.53] I don't want to live
[02:53.00] I don't want to live
[02:54.35] Without you
[02:56.40] I don't want to live,
[02:57.02] I don't want to live
[02:58.81] Without you
[03:01.55] I don't want to live
[03:02.64] I don't want to live
[03:03.90] Without you
[03:06.16] I don't want to live
[03:07.47] I don't want to live
[03:09.56] Without you
