carry me
Cherry Neneh Lyrics

You fed the fire all my letters like you fed me French fries
You destroyed all of my emotions like you fed me junk food - quickly, carelessly, and without consideration

And in my dead mouth lies the taste that's like the look in your dead eyes
The aftertaste of our relationship is bitter and ugly, just like the feeling of staring into your lifeless eyes

Don't give me your expression, don't even swim with me
I don't want your fake emotions or false sympathies, don't even try to act like you care

I've got the nerve to tell you, you'll never live through me
I'm strong enough to face the fact that you'll never be able to control or manipulate me again

Carry me, carry me, carry me I wanna go home Carry me, bury me I wanna go home
I'm yearning for a place of comfort and safety, even if it means being put to rest

Like a witness that has come to be that's my expression And though I live through your eyes, I've just lived in one dimension
I exist only as a reflection in your world, and my true feelings and experiences have been stifled

You wanna let off a gun, press one hard be hard on I wonder is your wisdom telling you'll never get to you
You're trying to intimidate me with your tough words and actions, but I know that your insecurities and fears will never allow you to truly be happy

So now come, yeah I'll take a [Incomprehensible] now, yeah Movin' a hole in the gun
I'm ready for whatever you bring, and I won't be afraid to face it head-on

I gave you satisfaction It's murder here when I'm round So keep my felt tip impressions and bury me Never to be found
You fed off of my pain and misfortune, and now that I'm gone, you'll have to live with your own guilt and shame

Carry me, bury me I wanna go home now
I'm ready to leave this world and find peace

Carry me, I wanna go home, oh Carry me, yeah, bury me, yeah
I want to be taken to a place where I can finally be at rest, even if it means being buried in the ground

Bury me now, carry me now Carry me, bury me I wanna go home
My only wish is to leave this world behind and find a new home, no matter where that may be
