So many times I just passed by
Took little notice of a smile
And as I walked lost in my track
The world just couldn’t bring me back

So many times I would not know
Without a reason I said no
And in the meantime I forgot
This life is everything we’ve got

But since you’ve opened up my door
I have discovered there is more
This love I cannot reconcile
Has brought me back from my exile
It is a sight that sets me free
And you’re the song that makes me sing
‘Cause through your eyes I get to see
Beauty in everything

Now every day is a new dawn
My old contempt completely gone
And thoughts I held a year ago
Belong to someone I don’t know.

I could not quite believe at first
I thought my heart was going to burst
This disenchantment makes me see
Reality as it’s meant to be

‘Cause since you’ve opened up my door
I have discovered there is more
This love I cannot quite explain
Has brought the world to life again
It is a sight that sets me free
And you’re the song that makes me sing
‘Cause through your eyes I get to see
Beauty in everything

The fire that's burning deep inside
The light that shines through even when it’s dark

‘Cause since you’ve opened up my door
I have discovered there is more
This love I cannot quite explain
Has brought me back to life again
It is a sight that sets me free
And you’re the song that makes me sing
‘Cause through your eyes I get to see
Beauty in everything

If by chance one day we meet again
Like tangents in a game of pool

I think I would this time for sure
I would step up and tell you

Maybe across a cup of coffee I would
Suggest that we should meet again

And when the time is finally right
I would hold tight and say that

I did love you more that I could bear
I loved you more that I felt safe

I loved you so that I got scared
And so I ran away

But with every step I died inside
I simply couldn’t realize

Now that I finally know
I wouldn’t let you go away again

If I think of all the time I’ve spent
As I was running from myself

And I could not get to admit
that you were all I wanted

Days and nights just wasted as I tried
in various ways to turn back time

Only to find to my dismay
that life will wait for no one

It has taken me too much too long
to understand where I went wrong

Now that I finally know
I would not let you go away again

Now that I have learned the worth of days
now that I know how much it hurts

To run away from love
I wouldn’t make the same mistake again

Now that I have tasted my regret
much as I know we can’t go back

If given half a chance
I would not let you go away again

Of all the things I never thought I would deny
One was the way I felt whilst looking into your eyes
But now I have to wear a mask and a fake smile
Trying to ignore the way I am faltering inside
‘Cause I do every time I get too close to you

It is a game that just keeps playing inside my mind
And I’m the winner I’m the loser every time
I think by now I will be stronger than your guile
And I shall never tell myself another lie
But I do every time I think too close to you

You take my hand, you take my strength, you take my pride
God only knows how many times I’ve tried
Yet when I see you there is nothing to my strife
However much I hate surrendering my life
Still I do
Every time I breathe too close to you
I do, I always do

Fallen through the ceiling in a dream I used to have
I’m riding on a cloud
The smile of the morning that’s sealing off the night
Is waving from the ground
Oh I‘ve travelled long, and I’ve travelled far
And still I’ve travelled some more
Deep down the spirals that envelop my mind
And rested on its shore
When the life that I live and the life that I want
Belong to different worlds
Different shades in a tale I tell myself
And still I can’t control

And I wish that I were stronger
And I could always be true
True to the voices that whisper in my heart
Suggesting what to do
‘Cause I know how I changed, and I know how I tried
And still I’m trying some more
Looking for answers where answers there are none
While wandering on my own
When I could have gone left or I could have gone right
As I burn another crossroads
Wishing and hoping that this will be the path
That will bring me back to you.

Without you
I can live my days as every day is
What a day
I can wake up and believe that all is well
I can follow all my dreams
I may even learn to fly
But even if I do
I’ll be without you

Without you
I don’t need to face the things that you would say
I don’t need to push myself in any way
I can take it all much easier
I may simply stroll along
But even if I do
I’ll be without you

And I know that I’m not easy
And you’re certainly the same

We are a perfect match that just can never be
We could never be together
It’s not safe for you or me
An explosive combination
That destroys both heart and soul
But now even if surviving
I don’t know how
I will deny the void I feel inside

Without you
I will carry on and live in my old ways
I will try to endure each night and every day
‘Cause I know that I can make it
I may even love again
But even if I do
Wherever I may be
Whatever I may do
It’ll be without you

Through the night
And its shadows
Through the silence
Of your beautiful eyes
Through your hours of darkness
Till a morning before you
Through the sting in the tail
Of days that never seem to rise

Through the rain
When is falling inside
Through the tears that I wished
You never ever had to cry
When the world falls to pieces
And the pain is too raw
And you think there is
Nowhere left to go
Through the wounds of the mind
Through the shimmering lights
That make your heart and soul go blind

Through the sorrow
When you say I had enough
When you say there is no one
When you say life’s too tough
When you say not a day goes by
That I don’t want to die
When you say I don’t know
And I don’t want to know
No I don’t care to know
I don’t want to know

I’ll be there for you

Through the thrusts of the wind
Through the scars on the skin
Through the burdens of time
I’ll be there
Where the sun leaves no traces
‘Midst unfamiliar faces
Like a light in your mind
That's flashing
Time and time again
I’ll be there

Lost in a drawing of how this life should be
I’m drowning in my dreams
Touching the edges of a darkness deep inside
That’s bursting all my seams
As I take a new step and I’m leaving behind
The place where I thought I belonged
Smashing through mirrors distorting all I am
And risking all I’ve known
Where the image I see and the image I feel
Belong to different sides
Spinning around in a mystifying game
From which there’s no respite

And I wish that I were wiser
Wise as the sun up above
Looking not judging and kissing everyone
While burning on its own
‘Cause it would be so nice if I were to know
The difference between right and wrong
Able to choose between options in my mind
As if there wasn’t one
As I’m counting my days and I lose track of time
The stories repeating themselves
Wishing and hoping that this will be the day
That will bring me back to you.

And I wish that I were brighter
Bright as the stars in the sky
Weaving their canvas from yarn made out of dreams
That we forget to catch
‘Cause I know how I failed and I know how I tried
And still I’m failing some more
Caught in the chains of a past I can’t dispel
As I am trying to run
Still I’m heading somewhere, and I’m heading there fast
Pursuing a crestfallen star
Wishing and hoping that this will be the light
That will bring me back to you

You said my love was not enough
To keep you warm
In the coldest winter nights
I don’t know why
It burned me like fire
And if you say the light between us
Could not shine away
The darkness from your days
I cannot say
I was blinded by your eyes
But when you say no star was dancing
When I held you in my arms
I don’t know why
I thought we danced with them
Perception may defy
Illusions quickly arise
A dreamy vision of the world
That doesn’t know denying
The heart that loves is blind
It sees through inner eyes
And suddenly a glimpse of what
Eternity feels like
But you said my love...

This is the first day of my life
It struck me like a thunder
That my struggle was in vain
And it was tearing me asunder
This is the one day in my life
I finally understand
I have found the precious stone
And I have reached this rainbow’s end

This is the first day of my life
The life I long to live
This is the one day in my life
And now I know, I feel it
That yesterday was just a dream
And that tomorrow, tomorrow never comes

And all that time collecting
Useless information
On how to live a life
That’s never quite alright
And all the time I’ve wasted
Running after something
When all I needed was just
Hidden by my mind

This is the first day of my life
This life has now new meaning
Now I’ve dispensed with all the sense
And finally started breathing
This is the one day in my life
I have found the precious stone
And I have reached this rainbow’s end

This is the first day of my life
The life I long to live
This is the one day in my life
And now I know, I feel it
That yesterday was just a dream
And that tomorrow...
Tomorrow never comes
