In my dreams are cracked voices and fragments of breath
The lies of the past lie hidden
Praying in a city far away
Even if I could draw the line I’d been searching for, it wouldn’t return what is lost
I don’t know what the truth is, and the answer has no meaning
A whirlpool of anxiety begins to overflow
I thought I’d made a vow, ONE AND LAST
Even knowing that it’s riddled with problems
Don’t say, “If I could be born again…”
I held you in my arms as you seemed about to freeze
I was afraid to just wish for happiness
So I turned my back on the world that seemed about to break
Are you going to scream goodbye again?
Are you just going to scream goodbye?
I’ll never let you go again. I’ll protect you
So let me see you smile
Even if I can hear it faintly
I don’t know, there’s nothing, there’s nothing
There’s nothing in this room where I’ve been hiding, concealing my breath
I can’t hold it in and it starts to flow
I thought I’d made a vow, ONE AND LAST
Beloved, that’s all I know
“Don’t show me a dream that turns back time”
I lowered my eyes to the words that spilled out
I untied my tangled book of memories
And decided that this must be the last time
Are you going to scream goodbye again?
Are you just going to scream goodbye?
I’ll sing you a lullaby,
One where nothing ever changes
In my dreams are cracked voices and fragments of breath
The lies of the past lie hidden
Praying for the distant morning
Don’t say, “If I could be born again…”
I held you in my arms as you seemed about to freeze
I was afraid to just hope for happiness
I turned my back on the world that was about to break
Are you going to scream goodbye again?
Are you just going to scream goodbye?
I’ll sing you a lullaby,
One where nothing ever changes. I’ll protect you.
So let me see you smile
