goodbye
It’s late in the night, I sit on the stairs, and I have closed my eyes
‘Cause I am afraid, when I open them up, I’ll have to realize
That nothing has changed
And we’re still the same as we have been before
Two lovers in vain, too tired to hang on, but too weak to let go
We’re lost and broken now, hope is gone
There’s no sense in still hanging on
The journey is ending here, you and I
Our time is over now, and this is goodbye
We stood in the wind, fighting a losing battle for so long
We wanted it so much, we kept on denying that it had gone wrong
And we tried so hard, we followed our dreams, and went against the tide
Neglecting the signs, telling ourselves, it’s just a bumpy ride
We’re lost and broken now, hope is gone
There’s no sense in still hanging on
The journey is ending here, you and I
Our time is over now, and this is goodbye
Thanks for giving me all of your love
Thanks for being my friend
I hope you’ll find someone out there someday who deserves it
We’re lost and broken now, hope is gone
There’s no sense in still hanging on
The journey is ending here, you and I
Our time is over now, and this is goodbye
We’re lost and broken now, down and out
Light comes creeping in, there’s no sound
What’s the point of this? Don’t ask why
I can’t turn back time, and this is goodbye
long gone
You know where I’m coming from, you know where I’ve been
And you know that I’ve seen this before
But my warnings remained unheard, and now here we are
Staring at shattered glass on the floor
So you found a diamond, precious and clear
But you carelessly gave it away
Well, don’t you agree with me that diamonds are rare
And you don’t find one every day
So where do you come from, where do you go?
What are you hiding from, where is your home?
Why are you running, why don’t you slow down and let go?
I said where are you running to, why don’t you stay and take it slow?
Sooner or later, you’ll open your eyes
And you’ll know that the hiding was wrong
You will reach out your hands, searching for mine
In the darkness, but I’ll be long gone
I’ll be long gone
Wherever we take this ride, wherever we roam
The memories will always remain
And still every now and then, they’ll catch up with me
To remind me of you again
The one who was innocent, the one who was pure
The one who was brave and yet so insecure
The one who was running away from her coming of age
The one who was fighting the treasures of life with her rage
Sooner or later, you’ll open your eyes
And you’ll know that the hiding was wrong
You will reach out your hands, searching for mine
In the darkness, but I’ll be long gone
And I try not to think of you anymore
And I try, cause you tell me to
But deep inside, I know that you’re wrong, oh
Sooner or later, you’ll open your eyes
And you’ll know that the hiding was wrong
You will reach out your hands, searching for mine
In the darkness, but I’ll be long gone
save my soul
Here I am, once again in this old place
Like in the old days on the old trace
I never thought that I’d ever fall back here
And that my failure would be this clear
It’s not ‘bout making mistakes, we all make them
All it takes is just a flash of reflection
Just a correction of the action
Deliberation, concentration
I clearly remember being here for the last time
Nothing has changed here since you’d been mine
I’m just a bozo, always returning
To the crime scene, never learning
I need a rest, I’m a mess, I am useless
Is this a test, I confess I’m confused, ‘cause
I could swear I had escaped from here to elsewhere
I had prayed that I could stay there
Come save my soul, won’t you come with me
I’ve got to let go, won’t you set me free
I’m digging for gold, but I hopelessly
Just found some coal
So here I am, once again in the old place
Like in the old days on the old trace
I never thought that I’d ever fall back here
And that my failure would be this clear
I need a rest, I’m a mess, I am useless
Is this a test, I confess I’m confused, ‘cause
I could swear I had escaped from here to elsewhere
I had prayed that I could stay there
Come save my soul, won’t you come with me
I’ve got to let go, won’t you set me free
I’m digging for gold, but I hopelessly
Just found some coal
I will make it, I can take it, like I’ve done before
Come save my soul, won’t you come with me
I’ve got to let go, won’t you set me free
I’m digging for gold, but I hopelessly
Just found some coal
four-leaf clover
She came out of nowhere without a warning
Her intensiveness was just disarming
It’s a stroke of luck like a four-leaf clover
That she crossed my way, and I got to know her
And it seems that she wants to save the world
But I wonder who is saving her…
When you smile and you’re shining like a star
You touch my heart, being just the way you are
And I’m stunned, and I wish that you could see
Just how precious and dear you are to me
When she looks at me, I must confess
I find it hard to elude her naturalness
And she cares, and she’s conveying love and comfort
And I wonder who will comfort her…
When you smile and you’re shining like a star
You touch my heart, being just the way you are
And I’m stunned, and I wish that you could see
Just how precious and dear you are to me
On this day and in this place, I want you to know
You’re an asset to my life, you’re a pot of gold
I want to thank you for this ride off the beaten track
And I hope that I can give just a little of it back
When you smile and you’re shining like a star
You touch my heart, being just the way you are
And I am stunned, and I wish that you could see
Just how precious you really are to me
lost my way
I can’t remember the point where I took the wrong turn
I must have ignored all the rules of the game I had learned
I kept going on and I flouted the signs all around
And all of a sudden I found myself stuck in this town
Decisions I made in good conscience and perfectly right
I faced up to the shadows of doubt that still lurked in my mind
I tried to be careful and clear-sighted throughout the way
But some kind of demon or fiend just led me astray
’Cause I lost my way without warning
Yeah, I lost myself in the night, in the night
Though I went astray, I’m still walking
Tryin’ to find myself through the night, through the night
I can’t remember the day when my fortune went down
But sooner or later I’ll find my way out of this town
The road will be winding and steep and probably long
And when I get through I will take to my heels and run on
’Cause I lost my way without warning
Yeah, I lost myself through the night, through night
All the words that I’ve spoken, and the things that I’ve done
Lay heavy like a stone on my mind
But I can’t change the past, and I must carry on
Tryin’ to leave all my burdens behind
’Cause I lost my way without warning
Yeah, I lost myself in the night, in the night
Though I went astray, I’m still walking
Tryin’ to find myself through the night, through the night
