There I was again tonight
Forcing laughter, faking smiles
Same old tired, lonely place
Walls of insincerity
Shifting eyes and vacancy
Vanished when I saw your face
All I can say is it was enchanting to meet you
Your eyes whispered ‘have we met?’
Crossed the room, your silhouette
Starts to make its way to me
The playful conversation starts
Counter all your quick remarks
Like passing notes in secrecy
And it was enchanting to meet you
All I can say is I was enchanted to meet you
This night is sparkling
Don’t you let it go
I’m wonderstruck
Blushing all the way home
I’ll spend forever wondering if you knew
I was enchanted to meet you
You and I walk a fragile line
I have known it all this time
But I never thought I’d live to see it break
It’s getting dark
And it’s all too quiet
And I can’t trust anything now
And it’s coming over you
Like it’s all a big mistake
Oh holding my breath
Won’t lose you again
Something’s made your
Eyes go cold
Come on, come on
Don’t leave me like this
I thought I had you figured out
Something’s gone terribly wrong
You’re all I wanted
Come on, come on
Don’t leave me like this
I thought I had you figured out
Can’t breathe whenever you’re gone
Can’t turn back
Now I’m haunted
Stood there and watched you walk away
From everything we had
But I still mean every word I said
To you
He will try to take away my pain
And he just might make me smile
But the whole time I’m wishing he was you
Instead
Oh oh holding my breath
Won’t see you again
Something keeps me
Holding onto nothing
Come on, come on
Don’t leave me like this
I thought I had you figured out
Something’s gone terribly wrong
You’re all I wanted
Come on, come on
Don’t leave me like this
I thought I had you figured out
Can’t breathe whenever you’re gone
Can’t turn back
Now I’m haunted
I know
I know
I just know
You’re not gone
You can’t be gone
No
Come on, come on
Don’t leave me like this
I thought I had you figured out
Something’s gone terribly wrong
Won’t finish what you started
Come on, come on
Don’t leave me like this
I thought I had you figured out
Can’t breathe whenever you’re gone
Can’t go back
I’m haunted
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
You and I walk a fragile line
I have known it all this time
Never ever thought I’d see it break
Never thought I’d see it.
So, so you think you can tell Heaven from Hell,
blue skies from pain.
Can you tell a green field from a cold steel rail?
A smile from a veil?
Do you think you can tell?
And did they get you to trade your heroes for ghosts?
Hot ashes for trees?
Hot air for a cool breeze?
Cold comfort for change?
And did you exchange a walk on part in the war for a lead role in a cage?
How I wish, how I wish you were here.
We’re just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl, year after year,
Running over the same old ground.
What have we found? The same old fears.
Wish you were here.
Whisper in the yard and turn the trees all into toys
Lay there on the ground, and turn the dirt into your joy
From what I see and what I know, it’s all been boring lately
So I suggest we trade a question mark in for a maybe
Time your riddles right, and make a point that has no sense
Make sure that you’re smiling, and the money’s been well spent
Innocence and ignorance, it all goes hand in hand
I’m not sure that I’m right, but I hope you’ll understand
I hope that you’re still searching for the start that has no end
And all the plastic people have now become your friends
Before you start to drift and your soul begins to scream
I just wanted to tell you that you’re listening to a dream
