What you did, I still can't say,
I just remember that one day
you broke the wall inside my head, but
what you said I still don't know
or who you are and where we go,
I still don't understand the way
you did it all and didn't see
the lies I spoke, the pain in me.
I still can't see, I still can't say
the words behind your eyes that day
and how your hands were hurting me.
Your moving lips are like the sea
I'm drowning in when I wake up -
oh, please let pass
this bitter cup, for
after all I'm just too scared
to hurt the one I love
to tear it all apart,
to make another start
for so much pain is left behind
in this body of fear ...
Too many tears have been cried,
too many wounds bleed inside.
So please, don't go away -
and please, don't stay
for every move you make is hurting me,
every smile is killing me,
every laugh is breaking me.
Let your hands heal me if you can,
lead me to the light again.
To see the sun after all those years of
being locked behind closed doors,
to see your face and not knowing what to say ...
To drink the light right from your lips and
waiting for hands to bring me home,
I hear you talk and don't understand
the rules of the game we play,
the meaning of this day
but please don't go away,
don't take your light away ...
Please, don't go away
Don't take your light away
What you did I still don't know
or who you are and where we go ...
