lyrics

when it started out with you in my head, i had no idea it would end like that. but ideals tend to never come true cause they’re just ideals. you had pulled me right out the swamp in which I was about to drown. but I never dared to tell you about everything i feel. cause this first felt so wrong though my needs were far too strong. now darling i know we’ll never be one, cause mine is the moon and yours is the sun and there is no world we could shine upon so why can’t i give in? is it cause of your smile that lightens my day? that shoves aside dark clouds and makes my heart race? nah, it’s rather because the hardest part of giving in is waking up and see that this can only go wrong and it’s just useless to go on. so instead i just hang my head and cry, watching all of my dreams die. letters that never reached their destination getting lost somewhere on their way to the place called ‘courage’ or ‘stupidity’. which one do you reckon? and there’s nothing more you could say about the things that I felt, cause they’re shades now. shades of what used to be feelings denied and locked away. only traces in the snow. bonsai trees never to grow. rain will soon have washed away the stains let the new chapter begin. and my coat will keep me warm on my way right through the storm. will i fall? no, never again and again and again and again and again!
