I see them walking down the street without me
All my footprints are covered by the snow
I don't know if they still care about me
If they do, it dosen´t show

The cold wind´s blowing and hits my exposed heart
I am walking faster carrying all my hopes
Despite the snow the road is getting very dark
They're fading into the background in those white winter coats

White coats, white coats
Why do you gotta leave me out in the cold?
White coats, white coats
This shield around me is getting hard to uphold
White coats, white coats
I'm just looking for someone to call my friend
Before the cold wind comes back again

I see them laughing on the corner without me
All my footprints are covered by the snow
Talking about places I´ll never go with them to see
And sharing secrets that I´ll never know

This is the coldest December we've had in years
They are huddled together under the lamppost
I walk away melting the ground with my tears
They don't feel my pain from the warmth of their white coats

White coats, white coats
Why you gotta leave me out in the cold?
White coats, white coats
This shield around me is getting hard to uphold
White coats, white coats
I'm just looking for someone to call my friend
Before the cold wind comes back again

Who is gonna be the last one to forget this day?
Who is gonna be the first one to forget?
When all the demonstrations have died away
and there are no news articles left

Who is gonna be the last one to forget this day?
when no more pictures are shown on the tv
When no one has anything to say
and the event becomes dust in history

Who is gonna be the last one to forget this day?
When the radio goes silent and still
When no one has time to pray
When we ignore action we told them we would fulfill

Who is gonna be the last one to forget this day?
When indifference has damaged our head
and the only ones keeping the memories at bay
Are those still mourning the dead

Who is gonna be the last one to forget this day?
When the rubble has been rebuilt
When peace has once again been displayed
and we lose track of responsibility and guilt

Who is gonna be the last one to forget this day?
When the story does not touch us anymore
and the event seems unimportant and gray
Until it happens once more

Who is gonna be the last one to forget this day?
Will it be you or me?
Who will still remember the scars in their hearts
When no one else wants to see

Will you leave now?
You know they always leave
But they don't always say why
I don't know which one of us I should believe
So many reasons for farewells
Some leave by will, some by chance
And some for someone else

Will you leave now?
Leave me never to return
Some of them never learn
When is it too late to try again?
So many reasons for farewells
Some leave by will, some by chance
And some for someone else

Will you leave me now?
Leave with words that you regret
But never come back to correct
Forever there leading you astray
So many reasons for farewells
Some leave by will, some by chance
And some for someone else

Will you leave me now?
To emphasise that our love has lost it's worth
Take back your heart but leave your shirt
Slam the door on all this hurt
So many reasons for farewells
Some leave by will, some by chance
And some for someone else

Will you leave me now?
Maybe I should have thought of leaving you
I always thought we´d make it through
You know they always leave
But never why they left
Some leave by will, some by chance
and some try to forget

As soon as the words left your mouth
My wings were clipped, all hope ran out
and now it's too cold to fly south
and It's too cold to stay here with you

The sky suddenly seems so insecure
I pictured you in our bed with her
I try to move but my broken wings won't stir
Each breath of wind holds pain and anger

We were once two beautiful birds
Lovely in spring´s warm colours
Colours that faded with actions and words
and spring was killed by cold blizzards

Through every cloud we would ascend
Maybe those feathers were coloured by deception
Now I don't think I´ll ever sing again
Since you sang me a bittersweet tune bound to end

Your love made me fly higher I swear
But you shot me down from the air
You didn't think of me when you let her near
Giving up what only we were meant to share

As soon as the words left your mouth
My wings were clipped, all hope ran out
and now it's too cold to fly south
and It's too cold to stay here with you

I´m at a loss for words
I never am
But they fade in front of me
Like they have been written in the sand

You say you´ll write
You say you´ll call
You say everything
And then nothing at all

I´m at a loss for words
Yet I know them my heart
This pen and this paper
Are light years apart

You know I am tired
My hand is aching
I feel each letter
But the pen just keeps breaking

The words used to come alive
Now they are gasping for breath
Sooner or later
There won't be any left

You loved me like fire
but the flames grew higher and higher
Until you had burned down everything we built
You loved me like fire
But the smoke rose higher and higher
Until I walked away from the ashes of your guilt

Now I'm out of lives
I´ve been burned too many times
and it's become to hard to withstand the pain
I'm gasping for air I can never acquire
I´d apologize, but you think I´m a liar
Saying we burned out cause I loved you like rain

You loved me like fire
but the flames grew higher and higher
Until I could no longer reach you through the flames
You loved me like fire
but the smoke rose higher and higher
Until I walked away from the ashes of your blame

Now I'm out of lives
I´ve been burned too many times
and to save my heart I was forced to let you go
To be loved was my only desire
I'm full of regret, but you think I´m a liar
Saying we burned out cause I loved you like snow
