Why do I think there's nobody out there?
|
No one who wants me and no one who knows.
|
I wait in this place, no one can see me.
|
After all this time could I be so alone?
|
I walk through this old town and still feel lonely.
|
The wind plays sad songs high in the trees.
|
The sun never shines this deep in the forest.
|
Am I in the darkness or is the darkness in me?
|
|
I wanna break
|
I wanna break out
|
I wanna break
|
I wanna break out
|
|
I want to taste the tears of a lover
|
Warm as my blood, as wet as a kiss.
|
But it's only dark rain that falls in this old town.
|
Old as my memory and as cold as my lips.
|
|
I wanna break
|
I wanna break out
|
I don't wanna fake it
|
I want to break out
|
And when I feel lonely
|
And when I feel lonely
|
You fly me to the sun
|
|
Above this old town
|
From the top of the tower
|
I forget about living, I forget about pain.
|
At the edge of the platform,
|
At the edge of a heartbeat,
|
Above this old town I flew away.
|
|
I wanna break
|
I wanna break out
|
I don't wanna fake it
|
I want to break out
|
I wanna break
|
I wanna break out
|
I want to break
|
I want to break out
|
