Lyrics[]
- I close my eyes
- Its like I’m still alive
- Don’t wake me up until
- Don’t wake me up until
- The silent night
- It tears me up inside
- And I can feel you still
- And I can feel you still
- A bleeding heart
- The things we left unsaid
- The phantom in my head
- The phantom in my head
- A creeping thought
- The joy that I can't find
- It can't escape my mind
- I can't escape my mind
- And I now I hate to face the end
- So could you let me just pretend?
- I’d give up everything I’ve left
- And I'll never know your like again
- You were the best I'd ever been
- I know that things were better then
- Then...
- The falling ash
- You settle to the ground
- I see you slipping down
- I see you slipping down
- A sinking ship
- But I am weighed down from
- The burden of your love
- I wasn't good enough
- And I now I hate to face the end
- So could you let me just pretend?
- I’d give up everything I’ve left
- And I'll never know your like again
- You were the best I'd ever been
- I know that things were better then
- Back then…
- And I was so wrong
- And its been so long
- And it haunts me still
- And I know you're gone
- And I was too wrong
- And its been too long
- And it haunts me still
- And I know you're gone
- And I now I hate to face the end
- So could you let me just pretend?
- I’d give up everything I’ve left
- And I'll never know your like again
- You were the best I'd ever been
- I know that things were better then
- Back Then…
- And god how I fucking hate the end
- So could you let me just pretend?
- I’ve given all that I can give
- And I'll never see your face again
- Until I’m walking with the dead
- So will you swear you’ll meet me then?
- Oh then…
- And I now I have to face the end
- But could you let me just pretend?
- Could you let me just pretend?
