[No lyrics]

It's such a shame I've met you
Now, when it's all too late
Everything I had to give
I've already given away.

My heart is gone.My body's is gone.
It's just the ghost you see
The ghost of someone you would like
Someone I used to be

So, take this song
It's all I've got
That wasn't played before
The rest is stained,
Worn out, gone astray.
I've played it down to the bone

In your eyes there's a hunger
I cannot satisfy
I'll never become your mistress
I've been everyone else's wife

My heart is gone.My body's gone.
I traded them so low
Just for a few drops of passion
Just for some scraps of love

So, take this song
It's all I've got
That wasn't played before
The rest is stained
Worn out, gone astray
I've played it down to the bone

So, take this song
It's all I've got
I hope you understand
The rest is stained
Worn out, gone astray

It's such a shame I've met you
Now, when it's all to late
If only I never met you
I wouldn't mind the waste.

Tell me, tell me what you see
When you close your amber eyes
When the sparkle fades away
And what remains of you is just a child

Tell me, tell me what you miss
When you melt in my embrace
When your sky explodes so bright
And all the cracks within reveal themselves

You only are to me
What I can make of you
From day to day I chase
An ever changing view.

Tell me, tell me what it is
That you leave outside the door
When you come back late at night
Wearing touch - proof skin beneath your coat

You're a star I want to catch
You're a ship I want to sink
But I only pass you by
And when I get too close you disappear

So tell me, tell me, tell me

[No lyrics]

It's Monday morning
The snow is still falling
No hope for spring today
We sit over coffee
When you say you don't know me
No more after all these years

Maybe it's true
I've been hiding from you
I've been running
Cause something in me
Tells me to keep
My own way

The devil is calling
I've got to get going
No smile on your pretty face
When I get back in the evening
You say that you've missed me
That lately I seem so strange

And maybe it's true.etc

Oh,oh, - my own way

Life's getting shorter
No sweet ever - after
The weather's suddenly changed
There are storms and lightening
The damage is frightening
so we look for a fire escape

And maybe it's true
I've been hiding from you
I've been running
But something inside
Tells me we'll find
Our own way.

Nail the stars across that wooden sky
Cover that crystal ball, that bloodshot eye
Let the last out turn off the light
But don't lock the door, there's someone still inside
A silly bride for a silly day
The guests they came
The guests they went away

What are we missing
What are we missing
Whose memories are we kissing
From our soul to your fingertips

Melt down that key to your broken heart
They never gave you a chance to even start
Too much sadness and your shadow will die
Hang out your tears to let them dry

She's on fire but got frozen lips
The life she could have would never fit
She walks through the forest singing nursery rhymes
All the leaves on the trees whisper - " once upon a time . "

I've been watching you for some time
Your handshake's weak
And you only smile
In the moments when
Everybody else is crying

You consider life as a threat
So you watch TV
For a quick escape
But everything you see
Leaves you with no need for trying

And it's like waiting for a thief
With your door right open.
Hoping everything's gonna get stolen

There's no limit to your complaints
Nothing's good enough
To make your day
All the stars are stuck
Against your luck, you're helpless

The world is spinning too fast for you
There're million things
You'd like to do
The time is never right
So you put it all down for later

And it's like waiting for a thief
With your door right open.
Hoping everything's gonna get stolen
Then maybe, just maybe
You'll be free

See, I've been watching you for some time
Your handshake's weak
It's just like mine
Only difference that
I'm better at pretending...

I've got no glass
To raise to my lips
Got nothing to celebrate
Got no time to sit
With you, my friend
Oh, it's getting too late

And if I don't keep on moving
I feel the earth slip beneath my feet
And if my eyes aren't wide open
I might fall into an endless sleep

I wear scars
On my body, in my mind
They remind me
Of who I am
Got no place
To call my home
I live where I stand

But if I don't keep on trying
I feel my heart just might stand still
And all those stories that kept us warm
Now push me out into that lonely chill

There's always one more step to take
One more move to make
Life will always ache
It only lasts for one day .
