Every word you're saying is a lie Run away my dear But every sign will say your heart is dead Bury all the memories Cover them with dirt Where's the love we once had Our destiny's unsure Why can't you see what we had Let the fire burn the ice Where's the love we once had Is it all a lie? And I still wonder Why heaven has died The skies are all falling I'm breathing but why? In silence I hold on To you and I Closer to insanity Buries me alive Where's the life we once had It cannot be denied Why can't you see what we had Let the fire burn the ice Where's the love we once had Is it all a lie? And I still wonder Why heaven has died The skies are all falling I'm breathing but why? In silence I hold on To you and I You run away You hide away To the other side of the universe where you're safe from all that hunts you down But the world has gone Where you belong And it feels too late so you're moving on Can you find your way back home? And I still wonder Why heaven has died The skies are all falling I'm breathing but why? In silence I hold on To you and I Every word you're saying is a lie.
