Be With Me
Cliff Lyrics

May she wake in torment
Wishing for the person who caused the singer pain to suffer and be tormented.

Never to find

Any kind of comfort

In death

May her lies satanic

That corrupt even now

Me again

Words of contempt

Only one who suffered

At the hands and the heart

Of a woman who stole

Both his life and soul

Be with me always

Possess me and haunt me

Take any form
The person who caused the artist pain can appear in any way they want to the artist.

Or take none

In flesh or as a ghost

And you'll learn as the ages run

Learn what your sin has done

Who is my protector?

Whence comes my help?

Who is there to calm me

But she
Ironically, the woman who caused the singer pain is the only one who can bring them any kind of comfort.

God shall be my witness

That I pray she will know

Not one moment of rest
The artist wants the woman who hurt them to suffer and never find peace.

In the cold cold ground
The artist wants the woman who hurt them to suffer even in death.

Consume and invade me
The singer wants the woman who caused them pain to take over their body and mind completely.

Take any shape or disguise

To share all my despair

And to learn nothing justifies
The woman who caused the artist pain will never be able to justify the harm they have caused.

Reckless inhuman lies
The lies told by the woman who caused the artist pain were horrible and inhumane.

Here comes the night
The singer is anticipating darkness and pain as a result of confronting the woman who hurt them again.

The abyss unrelenting
The artist is referencing a never-ending void of pain and suffering.

Casting all reason aside
The singer is putting aside rational thought in order to confront the woman who hurt them.

And I see in myself
The singer recognizes that they have the potential for savage and violent behavior like the woman who hurt them.

All the things I see in you
The singer sees the same destructive qualities in themselves as they see in the woman who hurt them.

Hear the savage I am crying
The artist's pain is causing them to act in a savage, inhuman way.

Be with me always...
The final line of the song is a repeated entreaty for the woman who caused the artist pain to stay with them and continue to haunt them.
