When I’m Down Lyrics[Verse]
What say you now the door is opening
On your vigil and I'm in my usual way
I save my breath, knowing what you're wanting me to say
I only love you when I'm down
[Verse]
You say that midnight opens its arms to me
Leaving you alone, and then I fly so far away
Until the light blurs my vision and I have nowhere to roam
I only love you when I'm down
[Chorus]
And I only love you when I'm down
And I'm only near you when I'm gone
But one thing for you to keep in mind, you know
That I'm down all the time, all the time
[Verse]
Well I know you're reaching out and you need to feel my hand
You want to be understood, yeah well I understand
I know you hold precious little hope for me
And in your happiness, I'm always drowning in my grief
[Chorus]
And I only love you when I'm down
And I'm only near you when I'm gone
But one thing for you to keep in mind, you know
That I'm down all the time, all the time
[Outro]
All the time
All the time2
