lyrics

How can you live with yourself, what you've done

You live in a world of butterfly dreams
You live in a world of caustic dreams of a life
Of anywhere I wanna go out, and I see you in me
And will I ever, ever be free of you?

Making films in black and white
Trying hard to say what I want to say
But you laugh when I bear my soul
And you make my skin run cold, till I'm free of you

But it just doesn't meant to be, we tried so hard but fate decreed
We were the ones to go, though we tried to intervene
And I tried, and I tried, but the man made a scene
How can you live?

We live close but far away
I care for you and you watch everything that I do
And there's no love to heal the pain, but I remember our day in the rain
And I will till I'm free of you
And It's 2 steps but too many miles
I just want to repair my life
Without some crazy 'rich dead wife', like you

The sun may come and the sun may go but the rain remains still
Will my life always mean having precious hours to kill?
