From light into darkness
From heaven to hell
These are my memories
That i want to hell
From day into dark night
From love into hate
These are my memories
But now it's too late
Oh big town bring me down
I'm just so far away from home
Where I want to be
Oh big town take me down
These are my memories from you
I feel so alone
Here are too many people
And too many lies
It's real hard to know
Where this story ends
I have so many dreams
That never come true
When I'm thinking about it
It's all cos' of you
