It comes and slowly stains my heart That's been cold, all alone and so tightly closed The sins are scattered everywhere They're around me I can't see it It vainly comes just crashing down In this sad and forgotten little town The truth we tend to look the other way from lies down deep I open out my wings of glass Up and towards the wind melted future So just please don't go Please don't go Be close to you I lay my hand on top of the heavy and closed-out door and I pray The lonely future left for me is one meaning of just living It comes and slowly stains my heart That's been cold, all alone and so tightly closed The sins are scattered everywhere They're around me I can't see it It vainly comes just crashing down In this sad and forgotten little town The truth we tend to look the other way from lies down deep I open out my wings of glass Up and towards the wind melted future So just please don't go Please don't go Wanna be close to you I'm now forgetting even the colors of your tears and love So just please don't go Please don't go Holding on strong to what lies ahead I bleed as my way of compensating everything to you How heavy is blood? Happiness and sadness lies too close The hand of the child born tomorrow will be just pure and nothing else I can barely see you with all these tears I open out my wings of glass Up and towards the wind melted future So just please don't go Please don't go Wanna be close to you I'm now forgetting even the colors of your tears and love So just please don't go Please don't go Holding on strong to what lies ahead The bells of reality rings out loudly from down deep within And disappears along with all the wind
