Thoughts freeze solid
I run with all my strength
You can lie behind
until your tears have dried
I leave everything I have
for a minute of warmth
I am black and white inside.
Everything I wanted to say
I forgot tonight
Everything I wanted to be
I kept always to myself.....
I bit my tongue when you smiled.
Is that you there
or is that someone who resembles you somewhere?
And when we see each other around
It is through your
Righteous blue
I even looked at myself
Through your eyes
And I hate it so....
you, you, you make me whole.
My indie-heart pounds and pounds and pounds. . .
Give me a winter-drug
Give me all you’ve got
You gave me a chance to tell you
all the things I never said
You gave me a chance to give you
all the things I never gave you
The small small words are hard words
and the hard words are simple words
You stroke your fingers
lightly against my cheek
It's not the shadows by the red lights
that makes my skin crawl late at night.
It's your quiet heart and your silence
as your teardrops stain my sheets.
She is waving out of the window,
her smile is red as a wound.
And my quiet heart goes to pieces.
It's been a lonely year in this room,
and I will not ignore you like before.
My january promises are more than words softly spoken.
And everything I told you was stolen from a book.
I read something about kisses in a science magazine.
Something they can't capture in the sweetest movie scenes.
Now I found a way to make you smile
Pretending I am someone else
Cause I really missed your smile
More than I missed myself
You found a way to keep it inside
To a point where you can't feel a thing
And silence suits us fine
Cause we are not listening
No, we're not listening
And you tried to tell me how you feel.
I couldn't hear you say a thing.
You tried to tell me how you feel.
I wasn't listening, I wasn't listening.
I tried so hard to make you smile.
It's been a lonely year in this room.
like a child with tears in his eyes
you've made me weak
And then comes that feeling
that sneaking feeling
the only one I can't do anything about
then I close the soul
squeezing it to death
and find a heavenly drug
and then comes that feeling
am I the only one
who never understands?
do you see what I see?
I'm almost like you
Utan Dina Andetag - Without Your Breath
I know you're asleep
feel the heat from your skin
just the smell makes me weak
but I don't dare to wake you now
I would give you
everything you want
but only when you don't hear
I dare to say so
I cannot even walk
without your air in my lungs
I cannot even stand
when you're not watching
and transparent like grey
is what I'll be like
without your breath
My watch has stopped
under your eyelids
the dreams pass by
you're light as a feather inside
And without a sound
my heart in your hand
I've lost my speech
it remains in your hair
I cannot even walk
without your air in my lungs
I cannot even stand
when you're not watching
colourless like a tear
is what I'll be like
without your breath
I cannot even walk
without your air in my lungs
I cannot even stand
if you're not watching
and transparent like grey
what would I be like
without your breath
What would I be like
without your breath?
