I find it hard to write these vain words
No point in crying and playing all these chords
A car that drove away and left us all behind
All these emotions that you wanted to find
Pain in my path, the sunlight in your face
The abyss in our touch and doubt on our pace
Are we just dreams and echoes of no sound,
Silent failing songs, a treasure nowhere found?
I've been meaning to tell you all the secrets in my soul
I wanted to show you all the beauty in our world
But you closed your eyes and vanished from my life
A ghost that now remains and nothing left but the knife
I find it hard to write these vain words
No point in crying and playing all these chords
I find it hard to write these vain words
No point in crying and playing all these chords
