There's a sweet melody inside,
telling me to close my eyes and listen,
and my dreams have never been so dark -
you've been telling me to keep a distance.

There's a shadow where I walk,
moving close and telling me to listen,
but my mind is keeping me awake -
you've been telling me to keep a distance.

There's a new person in my life,
all the people tell me to forget you,
and I know I kept coming back,
but I think it's time to listen.

There's a sweet melody inside
and my love for you is growing weaker
and I know that I should listen -
you've been telling me to keep a distance.

It's been months since I left,
and the thought of you still haunts me,
I want to believe that I wasn't wrong,
that I shouldn't have stayed.

I listen to the songs you showed me,
I think about the conversations that we had,
it sounded like you really loved me,
but I knew I was lying to myself.

Months later,
you probably don't even remember me,
yet I still think about you,
wondering when I will be able to forget.

Manipulation, there's no prevention,
you know I keep coming back.
Keep pretending, you are helpless,
while you play with my heart.
My obsession is my profession,
I can't forget you, but I can lie.
It's all illusion, my confusion,
you are never gonna stop coming back.

You get away, we are becoming shadows,
everything we said is now nothing.
I wanna see the sunlight,
remember the blue in your eyes,
I wanna see the marks on your face,
right before I said goodbye.

Now the feelings had faded,
the pain I felt is gone,
I look your eyes and I feel nothing,
the marks on your face have changed.

I said everything but it meant nothing,
the kind of life with no regrets,
I wanna see but all I see is shadows,
I wanna remember how I felt.

You came in and stole it,
everything that was ever mine.
You stole my heart too,
with all the sadness that's within.
Nothing that was mine was left,
you took it all for yourself.

— The End —
