It’s twice as bad, things unforeseen
Reluctant to accept whatever the circumstances may be
The guidance of different shades that’s led me for so long
Would you help me stand?
The curtains close to my body’s end
Turn the page, many stories told
In light of the predicaments, I fall on these darkened days
Just lay down and brace yourself my love
Play pretend, make it all disappear
The worst is over now
So go on and make yourself at home
Get ready for another world
I will meet you there
Empty spaces on canvas is all
Who would I be to let you carry the weight of my silence?
The grown-up steps I longed for
I can’t give you to someone else
Empty, on and on
Just lay down and brace yourself my love
Play pretend, make it all disappear
The door is open now
It’s so beautiful, it’s like I’m home
Time to let go, just let me go
I will meet you there
