Dead Petals
I can hardly remember when tomorrow became today
But just because you lost me doesn't mean I'm lost
I may not be fine but at least I'm free under the nightblue sky
And I don’t want to love you, not anymore
Though every time I watch you leave, I wish you'd stay
Now she’s staring at me with her pure, limpid eyes
All I can do is stare straight back, I can't let go of this moment
Her scent is my disguise, she pieces together the shards of my sanity
Unpredictable like an undertow
You held me so tight, only to let go the next moment
She's the single reason I start over and over and over again
Until her taste is on my lips, until her voice fills my lungs
I won't take another step, just make the loneliness fade
Embrace me and dampen my sore eyes
No one knows that I stand at the boundary between light and dark
I've been here as long as I can recall and now I start to give in
All the things I once held so dearly in my heart has waned
There's no room for strength there
I’m so tired of treading water
I’m so tired
You offer dreams, yet you bring decay
The peace always turns into pain
Please don't leave me here
Don't leave me
You swore we'd never break apart
And to fill me drip by drip
You swore we'd never break apart
Drip by drip, hope runs out
So close to the end
But then again, I've always been
Just another whisper in the night
I must endure
But what is left of me now
Walk until I collapse
In a world I can't stay
Dead petals fall from the sky
Where love means nothing
Dead petals fall from the sky
Where life means nothing
Her rain flows through my veins, she purges me of this blackness
Wash it all away
Unpredictable like an undertow
You held me so tight, only to let go
You held me so tight
But just because you lost me doesn't mean I'm lost
I may not be fine but at least I'm free under the nightblue sky
And I don’t want to love you, not anymore
Though every time I watch you leave, I wish you'd stay
Now she’s staring at me with her pure, limpid eyes
All I can do is stare straight back, I can't let go of this moment
Her scent is my disguise, she pieces together the shards of my sanity
Unpredictable like an undertow
You held me so tight, only to let go the next moment
She's the single reason I start over and over and over again
Until her taste is on my lips, until her voice fills my lungs
I won't take another step, just make the loneliness fade
Embrace me and dampen my sore eyes
No one knows that I stand at the boundary between light and dark
I've been here as long as I can recall and now I start to give in
All the things I once held so dearly in my heart has waned
There's no room for strength there
I’m so tired of treading water
I’m so tired
You offer dreams, yet you bring decay
The peace always turns into pain
Please don't leave me here
Don't leave me
You swore we'd never break apart

You swore we'd never break apart

Dead petals fall from the sky

Unpredictable like an undertow
You held me so tight, only to let go
You held me so tight
