i’m not staying
i’m not stayingi’m just scrapping this black book of survival
and scratching all the good words in the wind
i’m crying all the life i borrowed from you
and i’m hurting
and i’m hurting
but listen to me love
i’m not staying
i’m not staying
i scream for the days i passed by
i yell at this absent face in the mirror
every little me is dying a little
at every little second that was yours
while i’m packing dreams and memories
that will run away with me
but i’m not staying
you should listen
my sweet love
i’m not staying
i heard your echo across the cliffs
i saw you falling from steady groundi felt you slowly drowning in dry seas
and i hated you a bit more than always
as i loved you a moment more than ever
i ran my hands
over the whispers inside my head
i locked up that immense door
you have carved into my heart
and i’m now running, my love
to a very distant place in my mind
- cause i’m not staying
listen to me baby
i’m not staying
worn out tears
silence is the place
where we are destined
to be one
farewell
my sweet
ever-rising love
these are not “the days of wine and roses”
so we’ll never drink again
the words of a life i lived in you
and i deeply hope we‘ll never cry again
don’t you think?
don’t you think?
So we have stopped the rain
endlessly more
but no sun was drawn instead
- remember, dear?...
well then...
here we are...
both led to this far apart
abandoned, lonely place
crowded with a million nights
located in our souls
where we no longer got to find home...
i’m not staying, love
i’m not staying
you’re a free bird losing its sky
and i, i’ve flown away
with my ever lasting broken wings
which are now tied forever more
and i’m far, so far away now
my love, i’m so far inside you now...
but i’m not staying
you should listen, i’m not staying
what you do is shutting me off
your darkness is blackening me
and i just wish i could wake up one day
in a smooth, white land of the soul...
i 'd take you there with me, you know,
so we'd paint the world together!
but not this time
my love
no... not this time.
