This time I need to know
I really must be told
If it's over

It's up to you you know
The things you want to hold
Are in pieces

Crashing down
Crashing down again

Crashing down
Crashing down my friends

I've got to move it on
I've got to sing my song
While I still can

Dispatch the last alarms
Hand out the last few charms
There's no surprises

Only love
Only love can win

Crashing down
Crashing down again

Only love
Yeah only love will win

Crashing down
Crashing down again

This time I need to know
I really must be told
That it's over

I've lived my life alone
My every step foretold
To never linger

And yet it haunts me so
What are we letting go
Our spell is broken

Crashing down
Crashing down my friends

Crashing down
Crashing down again

Only love
Yeah only love
Will be enough
Yeah only love will win

For every chemical
You trade a piece of your soul
With no return

And who you think you know
Doesn't know you at all
Their drain is needless

Someday we'll wave hello
And wish we'd never waved goodbye
To this romance

We'll drink up every line
And shoot up every word
Till there's no more

Crashing down
Crashing down my friends

Only love
Only love can win

So cry these tears we'll cry as all
We've held so long to fall apart
As the curtain falls we bid you all goodnight

the rush of emotions used to be a thrill
the discovery of emotion I've never felt
but now I want to be over and done

I want to leave behind all my one-sided feelings
that keep me from reaching happiness

the day I finally think of you as only a friend
is the day I will be free

one dilemma after another
and no end in sight

everything that is happening
is just too much

it makes me happy to know
that I am making your day
just a little bit better

you say that everything is fine
you say I am not in the way

but why do I get the feeling that something is astray?

I could rant about you all day
but it won't make things any better

how will I find a way out
when everywhere is a dead end?

when you fall for someone
just beware
of all those angles
with their wings glued on

I have waited long
standing far aside
watching it go by

now I hope for the day
where I can go at last
to an elusive thing called love

another day gone by
but tomorrow, the same is neigh

my worries did not go away
the black birds are here another day

will I ever get out of this loop?
or will I stay trapped in this coop?

in the middle of all that is happening
whenever I take a step back and look
is this really happening to me?

it just seems too soon
I never thought this would be happening to me
I am tangled in the cruel web of love

I would rather bear the burden of my feelings
than let them go

no matter what happens
no matter what I go through
I just want to keep feeling something

I would rather feel pain or despair
than feel nothing at all

for the first time in a long time
I don't feel worried

but all that can change
*in an instant

am I a dead flower
wilting away into nothing?

or am I a bud
waiting to bloom?

you have the power to break me down and pull me up

somehow you managed to do both

as the glow of the shimmering rock goes dim
I am pulled further away from the exit

everyone around me is falling down
telling stories of dispair
stories of heartbreak
what if we pick ourselves up and try?

what if we stop looking down
we can hold on to what we have
we can make things better
and if we fall again, we can still try

so many feelings beginning to return for me
I thought they would be gone for longer, but I am mistaken.
all those thoughts that kept me down
yet they are comfortably familiar
all I can say to them is

welcome back

It's been good for a while
Isolated, away from the pressures.
But now i can barley hold back tears
As I am flung back into this social spiderweb

the worst is over
but I still have one question
what happened?

love can mend your life
give you the will go on
make everything seem better

but love can break your heart
plunging you into despair
leaving something missing

Why do I get angry all the time?
I don't show it, but I really do have a temper
Is it because I am alone?
Secluded in my home whenever possible?
It the reason my knuckles still have wounds from the last wall I punched
Because I feel like no one understands?

if I could change my life
what would I do?

I would go back and change the part
when I fell in love with you

it could have stayed so simple
you could have been my friend

now I'm trapped in a nightmare
that doesn't seem to end

all day I think about the moments I regret
about the feeling that something is missing
about the problems I am facing

and then I think to myself
when will it end?

I see myself standing in a colorless field
running through an empty forest
wandering in a forgotten city

but only I can figure out
where I actually am

often I wonder
what kind of person am I?

people say only I can find the answer
but can I trust my biased opinion?

is who I think I am
really who I am?

moments like this
when we talk as friends
it's the one time
that I am not worried

although it will be gone tomorrow
for now, I'll hold onto the feeling

I need to forget
I need to stop thinking about her
but I can't

she is in my dreams now
I see her every day
reminders are everywhere

when I think about her, I only get worse
my heart is a dam ready to burst

I don't want to talk to you about this

I know you want to clarify things for me
but you are telling me what I figured out a long time ago

I know that you are trying to help
but you are only making things worse for me

so please, let me figure this out for myself
