I don’t know how to apologize I don’t want to learn how to realize That your demons are just the same as mine Why is it so hard sometimes to treat you kind? My reflection smiles at me Just a stranger I’ll never see It’s been a while now I don’t really feel at home As we’re surrounded by slowly crumbling stone I rest my head without a shoulder, but it’s getting colder As I forget the things I told her My reflection smiles at me Just a stranger I’ll never see I’ll swallow the words that feed your pain I don’t want to see you hurt, not in my name Blinded windows, cannot see where i go I admire how you always seem to know My reflection smiles at me Just a stranger I’ll never see I’ll swallow the words that feed your pain I don’t want to see you hurt, not in my name

Morning fog over the grass Wipe it off the bathroom glass Misty mirror, I couldn’t see any clearer I couldn’t find my lonely smile I’ve been up for a while Keep my feet on the ground But my head’s in a cloud, thoughts are so loud As I feel I slowly drown But you keep your cool I am just a fool Tried putting my heart under a lens Must confess, it didn’t make any sense So I left it in my pocket, I don’t know if I’ll let you unlock it For I have lost who I was When my heart didn’t fit any more Don’t let me try yours, for you will need it far more When you leave mine on the floor When you leave mine on the floor But you keep your cool I am just a fool I’ll be around a little less I am just a lonely mess Don’t pay any attention, to my lovely intentions I won’t bother you for long Say the words and I’ll be gone But you keep you cool I am just a fool

The smell of spring My innocence The sense that I’d be different The need to run kicks in I wish I were enough Are your hands slightly rough? Is your gaze a little off? You don’t see about me I slowly fall Selective memory I believe This empty fantasy No relieve I’m trapped in this lonely game As I lose track of its blurry frame Is it all my illusion? What about your confusion? Please don’t say you knew the way That it’s just my own haze
5.
I think I love to lose my mind I am a dreamer of the silly kind Just a game of speculation, in my imagination Would you be so kind, to shine some light on this situation? Or maybe I’ll just smile before I go I think I love a summer breeze And maybe adore the way you tease But it’s all part of my inventions, you don’t know my intentions I would love to let you know But maybe I’ll just smile before I go
6.
Light at dawn, cinnamon eyes Silhouettes painted in black Evening train, and my lonely face Pressed against the window pane Just like the rain Secret wounds hidden inside Careful lines drawing my life The light blinds my broken heart I don't want to face the dark
7.
Do you need to wonder if it changes with time? And do you need to wander back and forth in my mind, Let's rewind; what happened this time? It may not be your choice but you have got me waiting You have got me waiting so long Do you need maybe a painting's explanation? Can't you read my color's explicit situation Slowly fall in love where love is broken Can't help falling into something broken, broken It may not be your choice but you have got me waiting You have got me waiting so long

I know a man with a broken heart He says he wants that no one will Feel the pain a woman once Caused him and he's broken still Caused him and he's broken still I know a man with a broken heart He says he tries to be kind But my, how did this woman once Break his heart and now mine Break his heart and now mine Eyes that make the night seem darker Eyes so bright the sun won't shine Eyes that show a man's been whining Eyes that cry will soon be mine Eyes that cry will soon be mine I know a man with a broken heart He said he tried to be kind But made mistakes like this woman once Now the broken heart is mine Now the broken heart is mine

about

In my heart there's a valley with a river or a creek
Feel the water rising as you softly speak
and if I wait patiently?
Feel the water rising, something you won't see
Feel the water rising, it will cover me

The trees and the stone, somewhere to be alone
Mountains gard carefully the place I call my home
Offer a peek inside of me
Feel the water rising, something you won't see
Feel the water rising, it will cover me

It's nothing new, anyway

In my heart there's a valley, hidden from your view
Feel the water rising, feeling I confuse
And if I wait patiently?
Feel the water rising, something you won't see
Feel the water rising, it will cover me

It's nothing new, anyway
