The night gave you a song
A light had been turned on
You walked out in the world
Like you belong there
As easy as a breeze
Each heart was yours to please
Is it only me who sees
There’s something wrong there
Oh, la, la, la
I’m not a ghost now
I can see you
You need to see me
It’s the little things that give you away
The words you cannot say
Your big mouth in the way
It's the little things that tease and betray
As the hunted I become the prey
It's the little things
The little things that give you away
I saw you on the stairs
You didn’t notice I was there
That’s ‘cause you were talking at me
And not to me
You were high above the storm
A hurricane being born
This freedom it might cost you
Your liberty
It’s the little things that give you away
The words you cannot say
Your big mouth in the way
It’s the little things that tease and betray
As the hunted I become the prey
It’s the little things
The little things that give you away
Sometimes
I can’t believe my existence
I see myself on a distance
I can’t get back inside
Sometimes
The air is so anxious
All my thoughts are so reckless
And all of my innocence has died
Sometimes
I wake at four in the morning
Where all the doubt is swarming
And it covers me in fear
Sometimes
Sometimes
Sometimes
Sometimes
I'm full of anger and grieving
So far away from believing
That any song will reappear
Sometimes
The end is not dawning
It’s not coming
The end is here, sometimes
Sometimes
Sometimes
Sometimes
Sometimes
When the paintings are shadows
And you're the only that matters
And I can see you through the tears
Sometimes
The end isn’t coming
It’s not coming
The end is here
Sometimes
