I can remember a place I used to go
|
Chrysanthemums of white, they seemed so beautiful
|
I can remember, I searched for the amaranth
|
I'd shut my eyes... to see
|
|
Oh, how I smiled then, so near the cherished ones
|
I knew they would appear... saw not a single one
|
Oh, how I smiled then, waiting so patiently
|
I'd make a wish... and bleed
|
|
While I waited I was wasting away
|
While I waited I was wasting away
|
|
I can remember... dreamt them so vividly
|
Soft creatures draped in white, light kisses gracing me
|
I can remember when I first realized
|
Dreams were the only place to see them
|
|
While I waited I was wasting away
|
While I waited I was wasting away
|
While I waited I was wasting away
|
Hope was wasting away
|
Faith was wasting away
|
I was wasting away
|
|
I never, never wanted this
|
I always wanted to believe
|
I never, never wanted this
|
How could I have become?
|
I never, never wanted this
|
But from the start I'd been deceived
|
I never, never wanted this
|
How could I have become?
|
|
I never, never wanted this
|
I always wanted to believe
|
I never, never wanted this
|
I never, never wanted this
|
But from the start I'd been deceived
|
I never, never wanted this
|
|
Inside a crumbling effigy
|
But you promised
|
So dies all innocence
|
But you promised me
|
|
While I waited I was wasting away
|
While I waited I was wasting away
|
While I waited I was wasting away
|
Hope was wasting away
|
Faith was wasting away
|
I was wasting away
|
