When we lay there
and held our breaths
our bodies shivering
I knew you were a mistake
I needed to make
I knew you would burn me
I knew you would dump me
Please go ahead, do it
Take me there
To the point of no return
Once I was in love with a writer
He wrote me poems
They made me cry
I told him that
He was cofused
His words were never meant to hurt
They were meant to make me happy
You’re fading
But your smell remains on my bed sheets
You’re fading
But the wind whispers with your voice
You’re fading
But lying on the ground I can feel your heartbeat
You’re fading
But my blood tastes like your breath
You’re fading
But the stars are still the same we looked at
You were the beauty in me
Now that you’re gone I can’t look at myself
The mirror wants to burst at my sight
I’ve turned gray and ugly and dry and old
My heart is withering
You cut off the roots of beauty in my soul
And poisoned the soil of my fields
No love can grow there any more
When we drive
and I seldom do it myself,
I sit on the front passenger’s seat
and I’m all in silence –
then driving is beauty
When we drive
the road is a gray belt
lying in the scenery
able to lead us everywhere –
then the road is beauty
When we drive
we pass meadows and woods
and each millimetre of the landscape holds lives,
plants and animals
and in each car is life and a human who’s beautiful –
and the whole setting is beauty
When we drive
and it’s dark, I love to pass cities and villages
I regard the sparkling lights
and behind every of these lights
there is a heart that beats –
and the city-lights are beauty
I then I ask myself
how can I be so sad
surrounded by a world
that’s so beautiful
And when I drive
I would like to disappear
and clear away into one of these lights
Be nothing.
Be part of the beauty.
You are the kind of person people write songs about
You are the kind of dream I never want to wake up from
You are a free bird. Your heart doesn’t have a home
And I couldn’t hold you even if you loved me
Wouldn’t let you waste your beauty on me
Go travel the world, my dear
Your blue eyes must save so many impressions
Forgive me. Forget me.
Sorrow drips into your heart through a pinhole
Just like a faucet that leaks and there is comfort in the sound
But while you debate half emtpy or half full
It slowly rises
Your love is gonna drown
Each of your words is like a revelation.
Never seen such beauty like yours.
You’ve been so bad to me lately,
but I couldn’t resist you.
I don’t think you noticed me,
I’m a gray ghost with rosy scars.
I watch you from afar and all I say is “Hey”.
You confuse me so much.
I doubt all I believed in.
I thought I was save.
I want to hold you and protect you.
I’m afraid you could break.
You’re not mine but I want to keep you.
Don’t want you to leave. Please, don’t go home.
That night is young, we still have time.
What was that world I was dreaming of?
