Don't Say a Word

You are my poison candygram

A love that's meant to fade away

Vade retro, alter ego, move aside, I'm choking on my life

You think I tolerate your hate, as long as I'm afraid

But all I wanted was to be with you and suffer every day

Under the moon you held a wake for a promise torn

Mortally wounded, feelings sheltered me

Once again your shadow will enter my life

Time to walk with me the last mile

We read a book about a man, a love, a woman, how they died

How was I waved inside, listen to the headless doves cry

You truly see a madman in the mirror when you're weak

We spent a year in love before I realized what you see

Open your blue eyes, tell me that you love me, no

Make me believe it, ha, I know you lie

You broke the vow I thought you made, oh why

Could I make you wait out the night

I always said: My love, do the noble thing

You have to finish what you started, no matter what

Now sit, watch and learn

It's not how long you live, but what your morals say

Cannot keep the part of the deal

So don't say a word, don't say a word

It won't be long now, love, like mist I slowly fill the room

You placed a candle on my chest

The path of night is manifest

I never wanted us to end up in this catatonic phase

It wasn't me who ran away, you made me stray

Open your blue eyes, tell me, do you love me? No

Make me believe it, I know you lied

You broke the vow I thought you made

Settling the score, we pass the twilight

I always said: My love, do the noble thing

You have to finish what you started, no matter what

Now sit, watch and learn

It's not how long you live, but what your morals say

Cannot keep the part of the deal

So don't say a word, don't say a word

You strawberry blonde, your stranglehold

On my heart is about to end

I suppose, life sometimes

It doesn't go the way it was meant

Though you never were a believer

I won't die before you

You read the book and delivered the verse

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust

Short is the flight of this little starling

When love, it sounds familiar to me

We had it all so sweet

But now, the truth is revealed

No word you choose to speak tonight

Can make this pain alright

Now don't cry for me, now darling

The wounds are far too deep

I need to keep the scars

To prove there was a time

When I loved you more than life

Unlike the last time here I now am the most sincere

The truth has now revived

The king is dead but the queen is alive

Close your eyes, don't ever dare to say you love me, no

You never meant a word, I know you lied

When there is life, there is despair, indulge me now

And stay alive this night before the first light arrives

I always said: My love, do the noble thing

You have to finish what you started, no matter what

Now, sit, watch and learn

It's not how long you live, but what your morals say

Cannot keep the part of the deal

So don't say a word, don't say a word

You strawberry blonde, your stranglehold on my heart is about to end

Though you were never a believer, I will not die before you
