austria, 1872
I stayed quiet in my bed, looking at the ceiling
Already knew there was no use watching the door
And it was dark before you came out
Always lingering, to make sure it was safe
Are things simpler in the shadows on the wall
Is it warmer in the space under my bed
You're scared of ghosts and I fear drowning
Though neither of us can quite explain
Oh what a face, what a face
Always darkened by the shade
And I don't think you ever looked more beautiful
Oh what a life, what a life
I'll give yours and you take mine
I don't mind
No, I don't mind
I was sick and you were tired in the mornings
Having the same dream that I had twelve years ago
But I'm not scared, I've figured out by now
That you need me as much as I need you
Father said that you would stay a little longer
Three months passed since you were left here by your mother
You said that something had now bound us
And I still thought I'd make it out alive
Oh what a face, what a face
Always darkened by the shade
And I don't think you ever looked more beautiful
Oh what a life, what a life
I'll give yours and you take mine
I don't mind
What a face, what a face
They would call it a disgrace
That you were wasted
You were wasted on me
Oh what a life, what a life
Consider it a sacrifice
But I don't mind
Already knew there was no use watching the door
And it was dark before you came out
Always lingering, to make sure it was safe
Are things simpler in the shadows on the wall
Is it warmer in the space under my bed
You're scared of ghosts and I fear drowning
Though neither of us can quite explain
Oh what a face, what a face
Always darkened by the shade
And I don't think you ever looked more beautiful
Oh what a life, what a life
I'll give yours and you take mine
I don't mind
No, I don't mind
I was sick and you were tired in the mornings
Having the same dream that I had twelve years ago
But I'm not scared, I've figured out by now
That you need me as much as I need you
Father said that you would stay a little longer
Three months passed since you were left here by your mother
You said that something had now bound us
And I still thought I'd make it out alive
Oh what a face, what a face
Always darkened by the shade
And I don't think you ever looked more beautiful
Oh what a life, what a life
I'll give yours and you take mine
I don't mind
What a face, what a face
They would call it a disgrace
That you were wasted
You were wasted on me
Oh what a life, what a life
Consider it a sacrifice
But I don't mind
