UNTIL WE'RE DONE

I know it won't last
But my dearest
Until we're done
What an almighty mess
We're going to make

I fell in love
With the sneaking around
Between the rumours
And your wicked smile
There's a whole world
Of chimera
And now
I can't let it go

Round the corner
Where no one can see
I know every outline
Of the scene of the crime
Keep hiding
Behind the fake walls
Until they call cut

I'm on fire under water
The red flags were flying
But I was colour blind
X marks the spot
Behind the torn curtain
Where it all
Went to hell

The stars aligned
Inside the make-believe
In the northern sky
But they didn't shine
Bright enough
The world turns in colour
With you it was always
Black and white

I nearly fell off the edge
Went the long way round
Didn't see
The cold hard truth
Until it had
Frozen me under
And I was
Sinking deeper

Now you're just a ghost
In my heart
I've flown away
From my troubles
So many times
But never
Learned a thing

NEVER

It's never just
One sigh
Takes a blink of an eye
To get tangled in
Your web of fantasy
End up putting out
Imaginary fires

For a long time
It felt like all the songs
About us
Had already been written
But then you went and
Changed the lyrics

I was sailing along
Just fine
But then you
Broke the keel
Threw out the oars
Took the wind
From my sails

I swear
We lost our minds
Agreed-upon delusions
Castles built on
Unthinkable dreams
How do you come back
From infinity

I walked out
When the air
Turned cold
That fateful night
But I never moved on
I keep going round in circles
But none of them lead
Back to you

I admit
Your soul passed
Through mine
Still the best mistake
I ever made
But now something has
Died in me
If you call
I won't answer
