When, will this story end?
I'm so tired of writing it
When this won't turn out like I wanted
I guess I'll say what I need,
And then I'll be on my way
Just give me one more bitter love song, then I'm gone
You knew I'd never make it on my own
But they'll all say we did our best,
With red roses and all...
And all the time you take
Plans that you make
Words that you waste
Said ain't it strange,
How we just move on?
With a new face,
A new song
I heard, there was to be a wedding
Held in the square
Friends will be there
But I shouldn't care
I always knew that you were ready
And I just couldn't pull through, for you
And now all those happy moments will be missed
Save one man who got his dying wish
But I still wish you all the best,
With red roses and all...
And all the time you take
Plans that you make
Words that you waste
Said ain't it strange,
How we just move on?
To a new place
Even if it feels wrong

Oh, honey don't feel bad
We were bound to fail
Since my life derailed
Been down too long
So how can I get back up
Would nobody please
Place your faith in me
Cause I was bound to fall
And I've seen it all
Heartbreak and shame
Still I don't wanna live this way
Oh, darlin' please
Don't waste your time on me
I'll only let you down
If you hang around,
You're sure to get burned
Despite all the things I've learned

Sounds Under Our Breath
06:45

The lights on these soaked streets
Turn a pale shade of blue
As there are movements from your mouth,
But there's no sound coming through
As we say things that we don't mean,
Words that can't be taken back
How many times have I been here?
I think I might be losing track
How did we end up, in this sad state of affairs?
There's no love here, And there's no room for empty cares
But you and I will stand, in the halls of empty hands
Kneel before the gods of unrequited love and plans
Burn beneath the veil, wishing I had paid my debts
As poison stings your ear, while we make sounds under our breath...
And If you let down your hair,
Could I show you my scars?
They were made long ago,
In a room, in the dark
Where a girl turns to a boy,
To find comfort in death
And as I lay close by her side,
She would whisper between breaths
How did we end up, in this sad state of affairs?
Left in empty rooms, with quiet words and blank stares
But you and I will meet our own demise at fate's hands
I will do my time, Buying lives with every glance
Lie beneath this wreck, Will I ever find rest?
All in due time, While we make sounds under our breath...
As our bodies intertwined
We learned how to stay alive
We moved through each as one, divine
Before our love laid down to die...
Singing... Ah, Ah-Ah, Ah...
