I like the way you look when you’re happy
I like to hear you talk even though you’re depressed
and I sure love that you can laugh about my jokes
when I know they are far below your high standards
I’m still a bit scared about the fact that
we have grown close like we’ve know us for a mild while too long now
but it have almost only been two great months
with the prominence of your presence in this world
I know you want someone
special in your life
and when he’s not the one
why do you try so hard?
don’t bury your head in work
when it belongs in the sky
there really is an answer for
every question in due time
(la, da, da, da, da)
(la, da, da, da, da, da, da)
hello and good bye again
I don’t even know your name
but you are already gone
so why do I keep singing on?
’cause I don’t like to be alone
and it can’t be all that wrong
but in the end I’ll admit that
life sucks just as much as we want
as we want, as we want
as we want it to…
as we want, as we want, as we want
as we want it to suck
and so it stops
before we got to fill
all those gaps
we never even saw
unfolding faith
on such fragile grounds
the faked smile
forming on your face
and the last lie
slipping off your lips
I know exactly
what you don’t say
now that you’re gone
and I’m not, so, I wonder
who is wrong
no, it feels okay
and I think it’s the way
it had to end
there’s fire in your eyes
but who would have heard the cries
so faint in the night
trying to get things right
your smile is far away
only fading shades of grey
no, I can’t leave this place
here’s where I want to stay
“it’s delicate”
someone adds
do you know what you want?
they do the talking
we won’t
and I feel a strange comfort
quite calm
we all do what we can
but never enough, you guess
I can’t go and
you don’t want me to
is that already all?
taking me home
although not mine
this place ain’t so bad
drowning, mhhh
on the floor of truth
want some more or shall I keep it?
you finally fell asleep again
I can’t follow you there yet
cause listening to you breathing
is all that is left of you
with the song you sang still in my ears
and your last words on my mind
I can’t put the phone down
cause then I’d send you away
