And if I was wrong again
What else have you kept from me
I am in doubt
What if all these people start a war.
Once again
Once again
It's wrong to believe in it
I should have been listening
I know I'm wrong
But what if all these people start a war.
Once again
They will try
Once again
They will try
Words are just some things to hide
The wonders I've been craving for too long
Erase my mind and feed me with your love
And let it all be as it was
Once again
They will try
Once again
Some of us will never reach the stars
And the smiles they fake are real
Everybody knows waht time it ends
And the lies they invent are fake
But everybody ought to know
That love is in the air
Reaching out for everything that's lost
Destroying all the dreams i had
But everybody ought to know
That love is in the air
'cause I am wasting time
and I am waiting for your love
'cause I am wasting time
and I am waiting for...
everybody ought to know that love is in the air
'cause I am wasting time
and I am waiting for your love
'cause I am wasting time
and I am waiting for...
At the end of Mary Way
There's a crazy girl that says
I'm as different as you see
But I'm allways incomplete
Mary Way
What's this now
Play me around
It's my dream of wonderland
Give me a sound
Did you ever
Read about me and my town
I'm a lowlife middleman
King of the town oh yeah
And the times we spend together
Weren't allways very fine
And you know,
And you know my luck was standing on the line
What's this now
Play me around
It's my dream of wonderland
Give me a sound
Did you ever
Read about me and my town
I'm a lowlife middleman
King of the town oh yeah
It's not hard to know when your body is aching
It's not hard to know when your body is aching
I'm alone at night and I don't seem to be patient now
And I don't know the rules to win
Believe in my dreams (that) I'm gonna have
But before I even met the other ones that long obsessed
Have you been lost I'm looking for
The songs I need before I go
My house my town 'cause I said so
And I will go
It's so unreal and I will love
The things I feel are not a joke
It's so unreal and I will love
Five seconds you destroy and then you pray
You've cut yourself and then you call
I am the one that gives you hope
I am the drug that eats you whole
Twelve months I gave myself to you
I lived my live inside of you,
Couldn't see that I was fooled again
But there was one thing, it was you
Go your way,
'cause what if all....
what if all this isn't true?
Go your way,
'cause what if all....
what if all this isn't true?
Five seconds you destroy and then you pray
You've cut yourself and then you call
I am the one that gives you hope
I am the drug that eats you whole
Go your way,
'cause what if all....
what if all this isn't true?
Go your way,
'cause what if all....
And if I was wrong again
What else have you kept from me
I am in doubt,
What if all these people start a war...
Once again
It's wrong to believe in it
I should have been listening
I know I'm wrong,
But what if all these people start a war...
Once again, they will try
Once again, they will try
Words are just some things to hide
The wonders I 've been craving for too long
Erase my mind and feed me with your love
And let it all be as it was
Once again, they will try
Save me, come on girl and find me
I'll just sit and wait here
I'm waiting for the moment that somebody opens my luck
My luck is slowly fading I'm loosing it unless...
This is nothing but a dream I can't remember it was...
Hey girl you didn't say your name now
Tomorrow I' ll remember, remember that you're so....
Hey girl you didn't say your name now
Tomorrow I' ll remember, remember that you're so....
Hey girl you didn't say your name girl
Tomorrow I'll remember,
remember that your name was starting with an "s" and ending,
endings are scary the story of my life is
I'm allways very close but then it slips away
Hey girl you didn't say your name now
Tomorrow I' ll remember, remember that you're so....
Hey girl you didn't say your name now
[Instrumental]
Everytime you move
There's a spark that seems to find its' way
To everything I own
I am losing in your favorite way
'cause you move me, yeah you move me
And you move me
And you move, you move, you move, you move
You are everything I have
Yeah you are everything I have
The secrets that we share
Aren't always so important that we
Have to disagree
About lots of things we used to do
'cause you move me, yeah you move me
And you move me
And you move, you move, you move, you move
You are everything I have
Yeah you are everything I have
Hey there switch your mind of
And untie me
You move me 'round the day
For a while
I'm not lost, I am saved now
You untied me
You move me 'round the day
Everytime I come
There's a spark that seems to find its' way
To everything I own
I am loosing in a favorite way
'cause you move me, yeah you move me
And you move me
And you move, you move, you move, you move
You are everything I have
Yeah you are everything I have
Yeah you are everything I have
You are everything I have
Hey there switch your mind of
And untie me
You move me 'round the day
For a while
I'm not lost, I am saved now
You untied me
You move me 'round the day
Wake up
What have I done
And I don't know how it all began
It's still here
The sound of fear
But then I realise
That you're still here
And wake up
So close to me
And we're not falling
we'll rise again
And the sun breaks
It all seems real
I turn around
and then you appear
And goodnight
Go back to sleep
And goodbye sunshine
Tomorrow we'll meet
Again for, another day
I'm hoping that you still care to say
And goodnight
Go back to sleep
And goodbye sunshine
Tomorrow we'll meet
Again for, another day
And hoping that you'll stay
For-ever
For-ever
And goodnight
Go back to sleep
And goodbye sunshine
Tomorrow we'll meet
Again for, another day
I'm hoping that you still care to say
And goodnight
Go back to sleep
And goodbye sunshine
Tomorrow we'll meet
Again for, another day
I'm hoping that you'll
Brace yourselves and close your eyes
Close your eyes or I will
Never leave your summertown
Your precious heaven is burning down, oh yeah
I will come and hunt your lives
You're wanted by a million tribes
And don't you think that I wouldn't try
'cause the further you will fall towards
the demons you have liked
walk away from the pain
leave before I loose my mind
there's no time, no time to hide
your precious heaven is burning down
I will come and hunt your lives
You're wanted by a million tribes
And don't you think that I wouldn't try
'cause the further you will fall towards
the demons you have liked
I would die for this
'cause I know I will not forgive (not this time)
I will come and hunt your lives
You're wanted by a million tribes
And don't you think that I wouldn't try
'cause the further you will fall towards
If I look back into time
I guess I must have been a fool
But all I ever did was never stop the need in you?
And I love all of you
But you just crossed the line
And now your energy is mine
And I care about myself?
If I look back into time
I guess I must have been a fool
But all I ever did was never stop believing you?
And I love all of you
But you just crossed the line
And now your energy is mine
And I care about
And I love all of you
We'll never know the truth
And I care about
And I love all of you
Some of us don't even know
Most of us don't even try
Do you believe it's there
Do you believe it's coming back
I do
My dreams are drifting to the shore
Sometimes they just slip away
But I believe it's there
I believe it's coming back again
So what, I believe in miracles
Oh yeah there is nothing that brings me down
So what, I believe in miracles
Oh yeah there is nothing that brings me down
down
down
Some of us don't even know
Most of us don't even try
Do you believe it's there
Do you believe it's coming back again
Do you believe it's there
Do you believe it's coming back again
So what, I believe in miracles
Oh yeah there is nothing that brings me down
So what, I believe in miracles
Oh yeah there is nothing that brings me down
So what, I believe in miracles
Oh yeah there is nothing that brings me down
So what, I believe in miracles
Oh yeah there is nothing that brings me down
down
down
down
And I'm down on the floor
And there's no one to help
I just say to myself
When you die
you die
It was a day we both remember
And again I am all the way alone
And I know that these things are never changing
But maybe I'm not so good...
'cause I have to know if I'm right or wrong now
take my troubles and wash'em down the drain if you can...say
the things are only messed up
but again we are all the way alone
'cause I have to know if I'm right or wrong now
take my troubles and wash'em down the drain if you can...
take my hands 'cause I don't know if I am dead
and the love affair was my mistake please come again
all I know is that I messed up
but again I was up in heaven 2
don't you know that I took those things to love you and just maybe 'cause they're so good
'cause I have to know if I'm right or wrong now
take my troubles and wash'em down the drain if you can...
take my hands 'cause I don't know if I am dead
and the love affair was my mistake please come again
take my hands 'cause I don't know if I am dead
I haven't seen the things you've seen,
I'm rushing to an empty goal,
I lost control
Every minute I remind myself,
There's no way back unless I fall,
I'm fighting my war
Keep me down
Keep me down,
What's not I can not help tumble down
But it's too late too soon or now
I lost control
And you push me back up
and I wanna get down
And you push me back up
and I wanna get down on the ground
I wanna get out
Keep me down
Keep me down,
And you push me up more and I wanna get down
And you push me up more and I wanna resist
And I push you on the floor but I don't wanna fight
Can we please now stop
Keep me down
Keep me down,
What's a friend supposed to do
When you're down
and you know
there's no love anymore
yes I know
that the truth will not come true?
unless the stars will not shine anymore
yes I know
What's a friend supposed to do
When you're down
and you know
there's no love anymore
yes I know
that the truth will not come true
unless the stars will not shine anymore
yes I know
It chews you up, it spits you out
and it's worse than razerblades in your mouth
it turns you inside out
It chews you up, it spits you out
and it's worse than razerblades in your mouth
it turns your world upside down
For my tears and for my glory
For the persons who ignore it
I must warn you to be sure
your love is real
for my tears and for my glory
for the persons who ignore it
I must warn you to be sure
Your love is real
Yes I know
Yes I know
Yes I know
Is a dream a lie when you know it won't come true
And I feel like I can be with or without you
And I must hide now 'cause my faith is on the run
Or do I have to hang on 'till I know you know
If you believe in me
If you believe in me
If you believe in me
Is there a world out there where no one gets picked last
Because I'm tired of dreaming the future becoming past
And I must hide now 'cause my faith is on the run
Or do I have to hang on 'till I know you know
If you believe in me
If you believe in me
If you believe in me
all i wanne be is somebody
all i wanne be is somebody else
all i wanne be is somebody
all i wanne be is somebody else
all i wanne be is somebody
all i wanne be is somebody else
all i wanne be is somebody
all i wanne be is somebody else
We fail and we lie
But what can we do
I got scared
and I ran away
But where can I go
But what if we fail to be one
when there's no-one to tell us
Wwhat's wrong
What's wrong
What's going on (2x)
We fail and we lie
but what can we do
But what if we fail tobe one
When there's no-one to tell us
What's wrong
What's wrong
What's going on (2x)
What's wrong with us
What's wrong with us
I wanna climb up in the sky with you
To seize the stars and put them on your head
I wanna take you down
where the sun begins
a journey on the clouds once again
I wonder if I will ever see your face again
and the rest of my opinion is of no importance
guess I have made a choice
for us
we are lost
in this world
we are lost
in this time
we are lost
we decide
we are lost
we are lost, lost in our own world
It doesn't even matter if you like it or not
we are lost, lost in our own world
It doesn't even matter if you're happy or not
We are lost, lost in are own world
It doesn't even matter if you like it or not
We are lost, lost in our own world
I used to walk without
Walk without a smile
Now I never leave
Stay awake, be good
Now you're out of sight
Therefore I can turn
Turn the wrongs to right
Sometimes i feel,
your smile is real
talking to myself
I am going down
I'm ready for the show
My smile has been destroyed
Now you're out of sight
Therefore I can turn
Turn the wrongs to right
Sometimes I feel,
your smile is real
There comes the pain,
it stabs me right into my soul
I cry
There goes the rain,
Leaving me like it was before
Sometimes I feel,
You reach for pain
you reach for fear
you reach for everything
but nothing ever comes your way
And I'm not lying
you always complain about the way I behave without you
And last night I had a dream
about it
And it's very hard to stay faithful
to a dream of you
CHORUS:
Think about the lies
that we told to each other
we never bothered
What a big surprise
that you're scared of yourself
and alone all again
You reach for me
you reach for us
you reach for everything
but nothing ever comes my way
But you
you are nothing but a state of mind
from the start until the end
I open the door see a baby
blue eyes, filled with a spark
She's wearing her dress and
all I can see is gold
And i see her, I call her, she hears me
and all there is to know
is hidden from everybody
except the both of us
It was a good life
You were the king of your mind
Oh so excited
To be a little child again
I feel alright
Tadadadadamdadadam
I feel alright
Tadadadadamdadadam
And there she is playing
and laughing and singing out loud
And as I will gather
I think I might getting older
It was a good life
You were the king of your mind
Oh so excited
To be a little child again
I feel alright
Tadadadadamdadadam
I feel alright
And after many hours,
We don't know where we're going,
I fear it's destination zero
And it's so hard to please you,
To say the words that ease you.
But I will always go my own way
This was already known
But never really shown
I know it's destination zero
But have you really tried,
I know that I was I
But now I'm falling even harder
And you fall and you cry and you want me to die
Everything comes down on me
Despite of this you look so good to me
And you fall and you cry and you want me to die
Everything comes down on me
Despite of this you look so good to me
Wave me goodbye
Save me tonight
Take me away
Just turn it around
And you fall and you cry and you want me to die
Everything comes down on me
Despite of this you look so good to me
And you fall and you cry and you want me to die
Everything comes down on me
Despite of this you look so good to me
Good to me
If I would tell you
how much you mean to me
I think you wouldn't understand it
So I'll wait, I'll wait until
this day comes
When you will understand it
But I can't help myself,
I can't stop myself,
I am going crazy
And I can't stop myself,
Cannot control myself,
I am going crazy
CHORUS
And I love you,
I want you
I wanna talk to you,
I wanna be with you
And I love you,
I want you
I wanna talk to you,
I wanna be with you
I cannot change it,
I'm sure not making it
One big hell of a fuss
I cannot turn my back
I got to face the fact
Life without you is crazy
REPEAT CHORUS
Kiss me, thrill me,
don't say goodbye
Hug me, love me,
don't say goodbye
Ooooooh, don't say goodbye
But I can't help myself,
I can't stop myself,
I am going crazy
I cannot turn my back,
I got to face the fact
Life without you is hazy
REPEAT CHORUS
Here by I return your love
I just wanna give it back
I am fading
The silence can be beautiful but also very cold
But somewhere out there there's a place where I belong
Cause one thing I know
Somewhere out there there's a place where I belong
goodbye
But somewhere out there there's a place where I belong
goodbye
But somewhere out there there's a place where I belong
The choices can be hard to make
Is it luck or is it love
I am waiting
I'm waiting for the voice inside me to tell me what I'm not
But somewhere out there there's a place where I belong
Cause one thing I know
Somewhere out there there's a place where I belong
goodbye
But somewhere out there there's a place where I belong
goodbye
But somewhere out there there's a place where I belong
Cause one thing I know
Somewhere out there there's a place where I belong
goodbye
But somewhere out there there's a place where I belong
goodbye
But somewhere outhere there's a place where I belong
Come a little closer
Why don't you leave the light on
And it's a nice day
to leave you again
And it's time to
break out and be young
It would be nicer of you to go
Walk away, come again
Walk away, come again
Come again, oh I don't know I have to go
Come again, oh I don't know I have to go
Come a little closer
Why don't you leave the light on
And it's a nice day
to leave you again
And it's time to
break out and be young
It would be nicer of you to go
And I wanted everybody to be closer
But the words came out all wrong and I'm just lonely
Walk away, come again
Walk away, come again
Come again, oh I don't know I have to go
Come again, oh I don't know I have to go
And it's so damn hard
And it's a waste of my time
It's so damn hard
Get get get get your widowmaker
And put your children back inside.
Yet yet yet yet another failure
in this life of the free.
Black hope shot down
there's a gun in his hand
that souls divine
there's a hole in his head.
Back back back back off for I break you
And that's how everything goes down.
Run run run run away don't stay here
Or they'll say it's your time.
Black hope shot down
there's a gun in his hand
that souls divine
there's a hole in his head.
Black hope shot down
there's a gun in his hand.
Shot down
Black hope shot down
there's a gun in his hand
that souls divine
Am I dreaming
people are passing the loneliness
Am I different
Who's to blame for all of this
Do you think I don't excist
Cause there comes the pain
I'm better off without you
Yes, I'm better off alone
I'm better off without you
and I'm better off when I'm on my own
It seems to me that I have been
a fool for all I said to you (2x)
Am I dreaming
Where it's freedom for all of us, oh yeah
how love kills the pain
I'm better off without you
Yes, I'm better off alone
I'm better off without you
Yes, I'm better off alone
I'm better off without you
and I'm better off when I'm on my own
It seems to me that I have been
You should listen very well
I'm about to loose my mind
There's a story I must tell
Before I'm leaving you
And it's not about a girl or love
'cause it's you who is out there
Maybe you are listening to the words I'm gonna sing
After all this time you're still so wrong for me
Yeah this song is just for you
Yeah this song is just for you
Aahah.. Oooo..
Maybe you are listening to the words I'm gonna sing
After all this time you're still so wrong for me
Yeah this song is just for you
Yeah this song is just for you
Aahah.. Oooo.. Aahah.. Oooo..
Believe the lies I tell you
This world will never brake your heart
The truth is that we know
That words can't take your dreams apart (Apart, apart)
We make believe with living
The scripts reminds us who we are
The faulty act of breathing
Your eyes have never seen this far
Chorus
I'll break you I'll save you
I'll keep you captive in my heart
I see you I'll save you
And now the end is where we stop
The eye of wicked dreaming
Will climb so high and fall so far
No one can't stop the bleeding
So take these scars for what they are
Chorus
I'll break I'll save you
I'll keep you captive in my heart
I see you I'll save you
And now the end is where we stop
The end
I'll break you I'll save you
I'll keep you captive in my heart
I see you I'll save you
And now the end is where we stop
I'll break you I'll save you
I'll keep you captive in my heart
I see you I'll save you
I see you
A memory
I try and catch my breath
I still hear your heartbeat
The silence as you left
As the tears fell like rain you were by my side
When the heart couldn't contain what was left behind
I see you
Time stands still
You're taking your last breath
So unreal that you're gone
A memory's all that's left
As the tears fall like rain I'll be by your side
When the heart can't contain what's been left behind
So much I would say
Could have tried
I need you to stay here inside my mind
As the tears fall like rain I'll be by your side
When the heart can't contain what's been left behind
So much I would say
Could have tried
I need you to stay here inside my mind
I see you
the future
You're taking your first breath
Burried by the darkness i see in your eyes
No one can save me as i stare through the whites of your lies
[Chorus]
I used to be alive
How do i feel tonight (when) you paralyze my life
How do i run and hide (when) you are inside my mind
Waiting for the numbness to turn into pain
We cannot face this when the fury and peace are the same
[Chorus]
I know it sounds insane
How do i feel tonight (when) you paralyze my life
How do i run and hide (when) you are inside my mind
How do i feel tonight (when) you paralyze my life
