[Verse 1]
This fever I have is because of you
My body is blazing
The flames alight and lick at my ear
So that I can only hear
Muddled words of you
Through the years

[Pre-Chorus]
Too many a trusted word was said
My body was porous
I savoured every drop of you
Took me it all as true
Now I wander my way
Through the years
Through the years

[Chorus]
Ooh, you blinded me with all your light
I wish I could see now
Promises and lies ignite the fire
And I wonder why I believed in you
Through the years
Through the years
Through the years
[Post-Chorus]
Of joy and laughter
Of tears and sadness (sadness)
Of hopes and heart
Through the years of love and loving (loving)
Of hurt and healing (healing)
Falling apart, oh

[Bridge]
I believed in you
I believed in you
I believed in you
And I wonder, wonder why

[Chorus]
I'm no longer fooled by your disguise
I'm sorry that you are, ha
I pity all the pretensions of you
And now I start anew, I wish my way
Through the years
Through the years
Through the years
Through the years
Through the years
