Looking at love alone
All I see in this darkness are the fires burning in the distance;
Dreams disappear with the smoke formed from former wishes.
Life is a cartoon and we are animals of circumstance;
What have I become without a real romance?
Long live the death of love;
Leave me to grieve alone, to rot and to rust.
Please take me far faraway from lust;
I have no empathy for a feeling I can no longer trust.
You saw me looking at love alone;
You saw me weeping and decided I was the one.
A joke to tell me, a conversation we had never had;
I wonder how you knew how I felt,
When I had never told you about that.
Somehow I know that you are always near;
When I come home you are always here.
But not tonight, the lights are turned off;
Now I weep into a wine glass, as the misery reappears.
These things we do,
These things we say,
Bring us forever closer to drifting away.
