i saw flowers in the sky
as stars were falling to the ground
this life without you
upside down

and you can scream
from the top of your lungs;
your echo won't sound

what was overshadowing noise
has now become silence

I still hear your voice, crying through the night
It echos in my head, saying 'I won't let go'
And the walls in my room creak with every tear
that falls from my cheek to my lips, tasting salty
Like the final kiss you placed so indifferently on me
while my heart was screaming 'please don't go',
words that my mouth was never able to tell
And now the night shares the story of us again,
so I listen foolishly to keep you a little closer,
for the promise you could never keep
was the one that made you stay

to see the skies painted in light blue
to feel my spine be kissed by you
to hear children laugh a little longer
to see friendships grow a little fonder
to hear music in silence
to stop poverty and violence
to watch your eyes shine brighter than ever
to hear you say that i'm not pretty but clever
to imagine the future and long for the past
to try and escape the world of the sad
to create a new reality with my own limits
for what would our world be without dreams in it?

you know,
I never mean to think about you,
not this often anyway,
but you appear in my mind like a broken record,
as if you never really left,
the lines of our last verse remain unfinished,
and it haunts me everyday,
because you are a song I can never forget,
you are the words I will always remember,
the melody that surrounds my heart at all times
-
you know,
I never mean to think about you,
but somehow you are still here,
in my head, in my mind, in my heart
you just are an unforgettable song

pretty girl,
beware,
the boys are out to get you
they'll take away your flower
they want what's only yours

pretty girl,
blossom slowly,
stay in your cocoon for now
for summer can only last so long
and soon it will be over

our love is a game
an everlasting war
that we can never win
for we are afraid
of caring too much
so we hide
and we quiet
it is a game
we are bound to lose
