What a situation
Senses gone and left me
Lies are like confetti on the floor
Words are leading nowhere
Delicate and tender
Tender hooks that drive me to despair
Storms are blowing
Winds are calling to me
Be my escape
My reward
It is you I adore
See me through
Where there are demons
I see angels passing by
The morning after nights before
I have tried
When a lover leaves you
Cuts you without knowing
The world just falls apart beneath your feet
Talk is cheap and useless
Nothing but excuses
Lies are like confetti in my hands
Storms are blowing
Winds are calling to me
Be my escape
My reward
It is you I adore
See me through
Where there are demons
I see angels passing by
The morning after nights before
I have tried
Be my escape
My reward
It is you I adore
See me through
Where there are demons
I see angels passing by
The morning after nights before
I have tried
Where there are demons
I see angels passing by
The morning after nights before
I have tried
Where there are demons
I see angels passing by
The morning after nights before
I have tried
