I gave my soul
To the things that you admired
I caught it
As it came through
Let you be my saviour
Kept it to give you back
Back-to-back
With you
And the heartbeat of the city
In the shadows I made my home
I’ve been changing
And mamma don’t know
Let her tears fall
And make the flowers grow
I am changing
And daddy can see
His reflection
In the mirror of me
Should I regret
These dangerous feeling
But I was born
To feel alone
Without your love
I’m just a stranger
A wilful child
You can’t control
And the heartbeat of the city
In the shadows I made my home
I’ve been changing
And mamma don’t know
Let her tears fall
And make the flowers grow
I am changing
And daddy can see
His reflection
In the mirror of me
Back-to-back
With the spirit holy
Imitated you for you to be
I’ve been changing
And mamma don’t know
Let her tears fall
And make the flowers grow
I am changing
And daddy can see
His reflection
In the mirror of me
