Look at my eyes and you’ll see the glow is gone.
We look at each other.
I always have remembered us that way.
So in love but frightened.
One question in my head: “Will we ever make it?”
The answer might be sad: “It’s not even worth it...”
Our world could end here.
So just please make up your mind.
No time to worry about what you must leave behind.
Make it last.
Look at your eyes and I suddenly feel cold.
We cling to each other.
I always felt so save with you around.
Something to rely on.
These things to fear from words we hear,
have always made it hard.
We never stopped making mistakes,
we made right from the start.
It’s time to say goodbye.
So this is the last time I get lost in your embrace.
The salty tears we cried at our goodbye,
were just the icing on this perfect lie.

What’s the place you went?
Because you’re all gone and now this town is such a mess.
That’s why I play this song.
You knew all along that this act would hurt a friend.
You left this lonely guy all by himself.
And nobody really knows why.
That’s why I play this song.
You knew all along.
That he didn’t want it to die.
So don’t you run away girl.
Don’t just leave my life.
Because if you’d disappear girl, what’s left to call a life?
But I don’t understand all the things that you did, all the things that you said.
All that we’ve ever had.
Was it just a lie?
What the hell did I do?
Because it’s all wrong and now my head is such a mess.
That’s why I play this song.
I knew all along that this act would just hurt you.
I wish I could go back.
Delete all memory because I regret it all so bad.
That’s why I play this song.
I knew all along.
You were all I ever had.
So don’t you run away girl.
Don’t just leave my life.
Because if you’d disappear girl, what’s left to call a life?
But I don’t understand all the things that you did, all the things that you said.
All that we’ve ever had.
Was it just a lie?
Reminisce of all that we ever had.
Now come to think of it.
It wasn’t all that bad.
But how we got into this state of disappearance by betrayal?
It’s all my fault but it’s so messed-up.
So don’t you run away girl.
Don’t just leave my life.
Because if you’d disappear girl, what’s left to call a life?
But I don’t understand all the things that you did, all the things that you said.
All that we’ve ever had.
Was it just a lie? (I guess it was a lie)

Since you're gone,
I don't know where I am.
Been stuck in places that,
I cannot understand.
It's all lost about,
since the day that I left home.
And I know,
I was meant to lose you all along.
So I know things won't be alright,
still I just can't lose this fight.
She,
she's bringin' me down.
Since running in the streets,
has left me here just to disappear.
Right now,
it's easier now.
Tried to hide the truth this time,
now I'm jaded up again somehow.
Back in those day,
I used to take it bad.
Missing out on things,
that my friends all seemed to have.
I found clarity,
in the knowledge your okay.
I just wish,
there would have been another way.
But running never made it change,
and hiding never made it better.
Still I think that it wouldn't change,
if I'd leave you now or maybe…

Why did I not foresee this?
The thing you tried to show me, that I missed.
And now the sky has turned black.
Because I failed to decode signs that you gave.
And now we are at war and there’s nothing left but dying.
So point all your guns at me and just let go.
So wrong I never got a chance.
Why now?
We were just getting there.
You lied and you’ve betrayed my trust.
Just stop and take or leave it.
So everything you meant to me has partly been a lie.
Now I don’t know how to react because I’ve been living this lie for too long.
And I’m breaking down.
Why can’t you just believe that it would be better not to choose to do this?
(‘cause it will break us down, and I’m scared of it)
I hope we’ll make it through this and that the sun will shine on us once again.
(‘cause it will break us down, and I’m scared of it)
Dark clouds and thunder still dominate the air above our head.
The storm can make the clouds drift.
Give sweet temptation to think that we’re at rest.
But we are still at war and there’s nothing left but dying.
So point all your guns at me and just let go.
We’ll never be aligned again like the Pluto, Saturn and Mars.
We’ll never be.
These desperate measures ask for bigger guns.
I always will remember those times we shared and all of the fun.
But now we’re shooting guns at each other and casualties are on both sides.
It’s so wrong.

Somehow it seems like you know my biggest fears.
Because you appeal to them.
It’s cruel, it’s bad and it almost breaks my heart.
Sometimes you say that we need to change our paths.
Because we’re headed towards a cliff.
It’s cruel, it’s bad, it’s hard, it will surely break our hearts.
But if I am the reason that your life has turned into dark.
Then we must seperate and leave behind all that we ever knew.
This bond has rotten to its carcass, a mere shadow of what it used to be.
It feels like leaves won't fall this autumn.
Like time and space are never changing.
I still dwell in old thoughts and memories.
Stuck at the time back then when you were still here.
And how it could have been, it doesn't matter now.
For now it seems like this is for the best.
But the longing never stops.
It’s right, it’s good, so why does it break my heart?
That’s why I think that we need to build a wall,
to keep from mixing up our lives.
Fill the glass, empty the bottle, sedate the brain to cloud the memory.
The snow won’t make white beds this winter.
Seasons have stopped since you walked away.
I still have dreams of how it ended.
Things were not right back then but I wish that you were here.
The memories of times gone by.
Staring at this empty glass.
Confusion gathers all around.
Set fire to this carcass.
Time seems to be frozen now.
The glass is scattered on the ground.
Just like the leaves will next autumn.
Forget about the quick thoughts of how it could have been.
They do not matter now.
And our lives won't be the same.
Maybe we'll all fall down.
Take what we had but never look back.
Set fire to it and let it burn.
We’ll all fall down.
