I leave the memories behind me
A secret sign?
I never felt like this before,
And when the rain is falling on my skin like holy
lights
I`ve found the love that I missed so long
Ever since I looked into the depths if his eyes
My heart laughs and I know that he is mine
And in my head there`s a circus, my thoughts are going
wild
Is it right? Is it wrong? What`s the truth?
Sleepless nights and crazy days
I want to scream out loud but I`ve lost my voice,
There is a fight between my heart and my soul
I know that I have to decide at some point
And when I wake up, I can see his face in my mind
I feel his touch, I fell his breath
But I cry and I`m shivering `cos my heart is divided
It`s so hard for me to choose
Maybe there`ll be a day
When I won`t run away
No more of all these problems
When will the story end?
Will it have a bitter end?
Or will it be a dream?
So far away - in your arms,by your side
Shades on my soul - I see your smile
Fear of my heart - hide the truth deep inside
