Lyrics for 'The Cure'




Lost (4:08)

I can't find myself / I can't find myself / I can't find myself / I can't find myself / In the head of this stranger in love /
Holding on given up / To another under faded setting sun / And I wonder where I am... / Could she run away with
him? / So happy and so young / And I stare / As I sing in the lost voice of a stranger in love / Out of time letting go /
In another world that spins around for fun / And I wonder where I am... / Could he ever ask her why? / So happy
and so young... / And I stare... But... / I can't find myself / I can't find myself / I can't find myself / I can't find
myself / In the heart of this stranger in love / Holding on given up / To this other under faded setting sun / And I'm
not sure where I am... / Would he really turn away? / So happy and so young... / And I stare... / As I play out the
passion of a stranger in love / Letting go of the time / In this other world that spins around for one / And I'm not
sure where I am... / Would she know it was a lie? / So happy and so young... / And I stare... But... / I can't find
myself / I can't find myself / I can't find myself / I can't find myself / In the soul of this stranger in love / No
control over one / To the other under faded setting sun / And I don't know where I am... / Should he beg her to
forgive? / So happy and so young... / And I stare... / As I live out the story of a stranger in love / Waking up going
on / In the other world that spins around undone / And I don't know where I am... / Should she really say
goodbye? / So happy and so young / And I stare... But... / I can't find myself / I can't find myself / I can't find
myself / I can't find myself / I got lost in someone else.
 

Labyrinth (5:19)

Say it's the same sun spinning in the same sky / Say it's the same stars streaming in the same night / Tell me it's
the same world whirling through the same space / Tell me it's the same time tripping through the same day / So
say it's the same house and nothing in the house has changed / Yeah say it's the same room and nothing in the
room is strange / Oh tell me it's the same boy burning in the same bed / Tell me it's the same blood breaking in the
same head / Say it's the same taste taking down the same kiss / Say it's the same you / Say it's the same you and
it's always been like this / Say it's the same you / Say it's the same you and it always and forever is / Say it's the
same you / Say it's the same you and it's always been like this / Say it's the same you / Say it's the same you and
it always and forever is / Say it's the same you / Say it's the same you / Yeah tell me it's all the same / This is how
it's always been / But if nothing has changed... / Then it must mean... / But the sun is cold - the sky is wrong / The
stars are black  - the night is gone / The world is still - the space is stopped / The time is out - the day is dropped /
The house is dark - the room is scarred / The boy is stiff - the bed is hard / The blood is thick - the head is burst /
The taste is dry - the kiss is thirst / And it's not the same you / It's not the same you / No it never was like this /
It's not the same you / It's not the same you and it never really is / It's not the same you / It's not the same you /
No it never was like this / It's not the same you / It's not the same you and it never really is / It's not the same
you / It's not the same you / Oh it's not the same / This isn't how it's always been / Everything has to have
changed... / Or it's me...
 

Before Three (4:40)

The happiest day I ever knew / In a sea of gold down next to you / So blurred and tired under summer sun / You
whispered dreams of a world to come... / We were so in love / In this sea of gold so young and tired / Under
summer sun hard by your side / Whispering dreams down next to you... / We were so in love / The happiest day /
Yeah the happiest day I knew / But summer sun sea of gold / This perfect day oh so long ago / Whispering dreams
so blurred and tired / We have to keep this day alive / Whispered dreams so young and tired / It's hard to hold this
day inside / And the happiest night I ever had / Up next to you in silver sand / So scared and high under winter
moon / You whispered dreams that would all come true... / We were so in love / Up next to you so fucked and high /
Under winter moon it made me cry / Whispering dreams on silver sand... / We were so in love / The happiest night /
Yeah the happiest night I had / But winter moon and silver sand / This perfect night in another land / Whispering
dreams so scared and high / We have to keep this night alive / Whispered dreams so fucked and high / It's hard to
hold this night inside / Yeah and every summer's sun I want again / And every winter's moon I want the same / My
happiest day and my happiest night / Always next to you... / And held deep inside... / Keeps me alive
 

The End of The World (3:46)

Go if you want to / I never try to stop you know there's a reason / For all of this you're feeling low / Its not my call /
You couldnt ever love me more / You couldnt love me more / You couldnt love... / Me... / I dont show much / It's
not that hard to hide you see in a moment / I cant remember how to be all you wanted / I couldn't ever love you
more / I couldn't love you more / I couldnt love... / You want me to cry and play my part / I want you to sigh and
fall apart / We want this like everyone else / Stay if you want to / I always wait to hear you say there's a last kiss /
For all the times you run this way it's not my fault / You couldn't ever love me more / You couldn't love me more /
You couldn't love... / I couldnt ever love you more / I couldnt love you more / I couldnt love... / You want me to lie
not break your heart / I want you to fly not stop and start / We want us like everything else / Ooo-eee-ooo...
Ooo-eee-ooo... / Maybe we didnt understand / It's just the end of the world... / Ooo-eee-ooo... Ooo-eee-ooo... /
Maybe we didnt understand / Not just a boy and a girl / It's just the end of the end of the world... / Me... I dont say
much / It's far too hard to make you see in a moment / I still forget just how to be all you wanted / I couldnt ever
love you more / I couldnt love you more / I couldnt love you more / I couldnt love you more / I couldnt love you
more
 

Anniversary (4:32)

A year ago today we stood / Above this same awakening world / I held you... / You never wanted me to know /
Another year ago today / Before this same awakening world / I held you... / I never meant to let you go / There
was a moment / There always is / When time stood still / And always was this... / One endless moment / You turn
in pain / And I always let you go / Over and over again... / A year ago tonight we lay / Below this same
remembering sky / I kissed you / You never wanted me to know... / Another year ago tonight / Behind this same
remembering sky / I kissed you... / I never meant to let you go / Another moment / There always is / As time
stands still / and always is this... / One endless moment / You tell me all / And I hold you and I kiss you / And I
never let you go / I never let you go...
 

Us or Them (4:11)

There is no terror in my heart / Death is with us all / We suck him down with our first breath / And spit him out as
we fall / There is no terror in my heart / No dread of the unknown / Desire for paradise to be... / We love this on
our own / No I don't want you anywhere near me / I don't want you anywhere near me / Get your fucking world
out of my head / I don't want you anywhere near me / I don't want you anywhere near me / Get your fucking world
out of my head / I don't want your "us or them" / No I don't need your "us or them" / Oh I don't want your "us
or them" / I don't need your "us or them / You're us or them..." / "I live in knowledge of real truth / And all my
gods are great!" / The doleful cant of a bigot / Blinded by fear and hate / You live in knowledge of real truth? /
Oh the biggest lie I heard / How sick in your mind and soul /  To be scared of my voice and my words / Oh you
don't want me anywhere near you / You don't want me anywhere near you / Get my fucking head out of your
world / You don't want me anywhere near you / You don't want me anywhere near you / Get my fucking head out
of your world /  I don't want your "us or them" / No I don't need your "us or them" / Oh I don't want your "us
or them" / I don't need your "us or them" / As the only way this ever ends is "me"
 

alt.end (4:32)

Yeah it's a big bright beautiful world / Just the other side of the door / Six billion beautiful faces / But I saw them
all before... / No this is not about running out on you / Not a case of right or wrong / It's only that it's over and
done for me / It's already been and gone / And I don't want another go around - I don't want to start again / No I
don't want another go around - I want this to be the end / I want this to be the end - I don't want to start again / I
want this to be the last thing we do / It for me and you... / For all my dreams came true / Yeah I know I should care
if you come with me / Yeah and I should care if you go / Really should care about your love or your hate of me /
Yeah I should care... but I don't / And it's not about giving up on you / It's not a case of do or die / It's simply
that it's over and out for me / There's no more room inside / And I don't want another run around - I don't want
to start again / No I don't want another run around - I want this to be the end / I want this to be the end - I don't
want to start again / I want this to be the last thing we do / It for me and you... / Yeah it's a big bright beautiful
world out there / Just the other side of this door / Six billion beautiful faces await / But I saw it all before... / No
this is not about running out on you / Not a case of right or wrong / It's only that it's over and done for me / It's
already been and gone / And I don't want another go around - I don't want to start again / No I don't want another
go around - I want this to be the end / I want this to be the end - I don't want to start again / I want this to be the
last thing we do - this to be it for me and you / This to be the last we go through / this to be the end / For all my
dreams came true
 

(I Don't Know What's Going ) On (2:58)

I don't know what's going on / I am so up close to you / I don't know what's going on / I don't know what's going
on / I am so confused by you / I don't know what's going on / No don't say anymore / To me at all / To me at all /
No don't say more / To me at all / To me at all / I am so in love with you... / with you... with you... / I am so in love
with you... / With you... with you... / I don't know what's going on / I am so in deep with you / I don't know what's
going on / I don't know what's going on / I am so disturbed by you / No don't say anymore / To me at all / To me
at all / No don't say more / To me at all / To me at all / I am so in love with... / You!
 

Taking Off (3:22)

Tomorrow I can start again / With back to earth and carry on / The same as I did yesterday / Yeah I'll pick it up
once more / And morning I'll be onto it / From square one start / And push it for a bit / Like I do everyday... / I'll
get it down for sure / But tonight I climb with you / Tonight / So high with you / Tonight I shine with you / Tonight /
Oh I'm so alive with you / Tomorrow I'll begin again / With heavy head to hold it / As I do it all like yesterday /
Yeah I'll break it out again / And morning I'll be there in time / For clock back move / And make it for awhile / To
get through everyday... / I'll roll it out the same / But tonight I climb with you / Tonight / So high with you / Tonight
I shine with you / Tonight I'm so alive... / With you it's always here and never there / With you it's always here
and never where / With you it's always here and never how / With you it's always here and always now / Yeah
tomorrow I will start again / With back to earth and carry on / The same as I did yesterday / Yeah I'll pick it up
once more / And morning I'll be onto it / From square one start and "bit a for it push" / Like I do everyday... / I'll
get it down for sure / But tonight I climb with you / Tonight / So high with you / Tonight I shine with you / Tonight
 

Never (4:04)

She wants so much to please me she always does it right / She wants so much to please me all day and every
night / She doesn't read the stars / She has no time for fate / She doesn't see the signs / She has no time to wait /
She is trying to be the one for me / Trying to be enough for me / She is trying to be the one for me / Trying to be
in touch / She is trying to be the one for me / Trying to be enough for me / She is trying to be the one for me /
Trying to be in love / I want so much to need her I never turn away / I want so much to need her all night and
every day / I never read the stars / I have no time for fate / I never see the signs / I have no time to wait / I am
trying to be the one for her / Trying to be enough for her / I am trying to be the one for her / Trying to be in touch /
I am trying to be the one for her / Trying to be enough for her / I am trying to be the one for her / Trying to be in
love / We want so much to have this we hold each other tight / Yeah we want so much to have this always and
everytime / But we don't need to read the stars / We don't need the time for fate / We don't need to see the signs /
To know it's all too late / She will never be the one for me / She will never be enough / She will never be the one for
me / We will never be in touch / I will never be the one for her / I will never be enough / I will never be the one for
her / We will never be in love / We will never be in love / We will never be / In love
 

The Promise (10:15)

How time will heal / Make me forget / You promised me / Time will heal / Make me forget / You promised me /
Love will save us all / And time will heal / You promised me... / How love will save / Make me forget / You promised
me / Love will save / Make me forget / You promised me / Time will heal us all / And love will save / You promised
me... / I trusted you / I wanted your words / Believed in you / I needed your words / Time will heal / make me
forget / And love will save us all / You promised me another wish / Another way / You promised me another dream /
Another day / You promised me another time / You promised me another life / You promised me.. / So I swallowed
the shame and I waited / I buried the blame and I waited / Choked back years of memories... / I pushed down the
pain and I waited / Trying to forget... / You promised me another wish / Another way / You promised me another
dream / Another day / You promised me another time / You promised me... / Another lie / Oh you promised me...
You promised me... You promised me... / And I waited... And I waited... And I waited... / And I'm still waiting...
 
 

Going Nowhere (3:26)

I'm going nowhere
Don't look so scared
I'm going nowhere

So tell me that you love me again
Tell me that you care
So tell me that you love me again

Yeah I'm going nowhere
Don't look so scared
I'm going nowhere
Could be
Could be
Could be
I'm already there
 

This Morning (7:10)

Nothing left to feel
Nothing more to do
Nothing left to give
Nothing more in you
Nothing else to have or hold
Nothing left, but time to go
Time to go

Years go by
Didn't really say that much at all
And moments just fly
Didn't ever really touch at all
Weeks always run down
Didn't really get that close at all
And days, days fall out
Didn't ever really know at all

And then we're here in a room too clean and too bright
She stares at you for an hour
You stare into the light
for one last hour in the room
So mean and so white
I stare at her in this room as she stares into the night

Nothing left to feel
Nothing more to do
Nothing left to ask
Nothing more of you
Nothing else to share or show
Nothing left but time to go

In his eyes as we turn no eternity of life
In his eyes as we turn no infinity of why
In his eyes as we turn no beautiful goodbye

In his eyes as we turn... NOTHING BUT TEARS

In his eyes as we turn... NOTHING BUT TEARS

(Robert talks in a low voice:) I couldn't understand too much of what was being said, in a matter of minutes,
peacefully so slow, I had to think to breath, my heart burst, we moved in silence really slowly away from the world,
as we drove a strange silence, that moment, nothing will ever be the same, nothing will ever be the same, nothing
will ever be the same

Days fall out
Weeks always run down
Moments just fly
Weeks go by
And then were here
And then we're here in a room too clean and too bright
I stare at you for an hour
You stare into the light
For one last hour in the room so mean and so white
You stare at me in this room as I stare into the night

Nothing left to feel
Nothing more to do
Nothing more to take
Nothing more from you
Nothing else to need or know
There's nothing left at all...but time to go
 

Truth Goodness and Beauty (4:15)

I've been waiting for the lies to end
Holding for the bad to go
I've been hanging for the ugliness to change
Waiting for a world too true
Holding for a world too good
Hanging for a world too beautifuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuul

Wishing for a girl too true
Hoping for a girl too good
Hungry for a girl too beautiful
All I say is a lie she sighs
Nothing I say is true
And all I do is bad she cries
Nothing I do is good
And yeh all I am is ugly
Nothing I am is beautiful at all

Don't get this world
I Don't get this girl

So look, but you wont see it
Listen, and you wont hear it
Reach out, and you wont hold it
You cant know it, but you can free it
You cant name it, but could feel it

I've been waiting for the lies to end
Holding for the bad to go
I've been hanging for the ugliness to change
Waiting for a world too true
Holding for a world too good
Hanging for a world too beautiful..

Wishing for a girl...like you
Hoping for a girl...like you
Hungry for a girl...like you
No...not like you...you
 

Fake (4:73)

I can't fly I never really could
I don't feel you ever really understood at all
I can't fly I never really could
I just throw my arms out as I fall

Always say you know me, you you dont know me at all
Only want to hold me, but I'm not here to hold
Always say you know me, but you dont know me at all
Only want to show me, but i'm not yours to show, no no no

I Dont dream I never really did
Dont believe you ever really took this into good
No I dont dream I never really did
I just wake up, make up as I should

no i dont dream
no i dont dream
no i dont dream

I wont see I never really would
I dont sense you ever realised it right
No i wont see i never really would
I just roll my eyes up out of sight

Always say you know me, you you don't know me at all
Only want to hold me, but i'm not here to hold
Always say you know me, but you don't know me at all
Only want to show me, but i'm not yours to show

I can't ever come back, If I never go
I don't ever explain, if I never know
I won't ever take it, if I never give
and if I never live, if I never live, if I never live
