Origin



In this twilight
Let me see your face
The devil's behind
And no one to embrace

I remember the day
When I left your place
I regret it today
I'm tired of the race

What was there to gain
When there's no one to share
My stars are in vain
This loneliness to bear

Would you come for a date
And live the old times
Or go on to debate
The weight of my crimes

I wish you are safe
And doing just fine
The smile on your face
With the graceful lines

So I pick up the phone
And find your place
To discover a rose
On a photo case

I am spending hours
On the memories we made
But the city is dour
When the sun starts to fade

I will carry this pain
And wait for my death
Never forget again
You're the cause of my breath
