Tenderness Lyrics - Marc Almond

She was always alone 

Kept herself under lock and key 

Just her sorrows for all to see 

She would break up and cry for me 

Throw her away 

Blow the ash from the ashtray 

Leave her alone to play 

Leave her alone to pray 

And now you wonder why 

I put out the flame to die 

I'll hold on to my mystery 

Secrets that make up me 

In what's real and fantasy

Tenderness is a weakness 

It tears down your fortresses 

Makes you easy access 

Tenderness is a weakness 

It makes you so vulnerable 

He was always alone 

Told me he liked it best that way 

Just a victim of circumstance 

Just a loser who'd lost his chance 

Truth, love and lies 

They were all and the same to him 

But he'd never given in 

To the ultimate sin 

And now you wonder why 

I put out the flame in my eyes 

I'll hold on to my mystery 

Secrets that make up me 

In what's real and fantasy

Tenderness is a weakness 

It tears down your fortresses 

Makes you easy access (and I guess that) 

Tenderness is a weakness 

It makes you so vulnerable 

To that sick dangerous feeling 

We all know as love 

I cried for you 

I even lied for you 

I died a thousand times for you 

I committed endless crimes for you 

I sold my soul to some Devil 

To do with what he will 

Now I'll lock up my heart 

And throw away the key 

Love have no part in my destiny 

Love have no part in my destiny 

And tenderness is a weakness 

And tenderness is a weakness 

Turns you into a quivering mess (and I guess that) 

Tenderness is a weakness 

Is a weakness 

Tenderness is a weakness 

Turns you into a quivering mess (and I guess that) 

Tenderness is a weakness 

Oh love stay away 

Stay away from me
