Lyrics
Only You
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
We suffer everyday
What is it for?
These crimes of illusion
Are fooling us all
And now I am weary
And I feel like I do
It's only you
Who can tear me apart
And it's only you
Who can turn my wooden heart
The size of our fight
It's just a dream
We've crushed everything
I can see, in this morning selfishly
How we've failed and I feel like I do
It's only you
Who can tear me apart
And it's only you
Who can turn my wooden heart
Now that we've chosen to take all we can
This shade of autumn a stale bitter end
Years of frustration lay down side by side
And it's only you
Who can tear me apart
It's only you
Who can turn my wooden heart
