Lyrics
To know love is to ache,
To understand love is to experience pain
Hurt yourself and repent
Inflict pain upon yourself and seek forgiveness
For in the end all is gone,
Ultimately, everything disappears
Lights go out, your time is spent
Life ends, and your time comes to an end
If I were you I would retract and lock my heart
If I were in your position, I would protect myself emotionally
Concede defeat and admit I was off the mark
Accept defeat and acknowledge my mistakes
If I were you I would turn away and hide my face
Withdraw and conceal my emotions
Swallow my pride and then finish ere it?s all disgrace
Swallow my pride and finish before facing disgrace
All of our dreams now laid on the sand
All our aspirations now seem futile
To wait by the perilous tides
Waiting for something dangerous or threatening
To be washed away into the depths
To be swept away and forgotten
And sink without a trace
To disappear without leaving a trace
Just a fool?s hope remains
Only a naive hope remains
To rejoice is to lapse,
To find joy is to make a mistake
Fool yourself and repent
Deceive yourself and seek forgiveness
Mirth will soon turn into woe,
Happiness will soon turn into sorrow
Reveries to contempt
Daydreams lead to disdain
If I were you I would now bring the curtain down
If I were in your position, I would end things
Accept my lot and thus fathom out my own bounds
Accept my situation and understand my limits
If I were you I would rue the day when I was born
Regret the day of my birth
Cleanse all in life and redeem myself from scorn
Seek redemption and cleanse my life from shame
Remember these words when tide is turning
Remember these words when circumstances change
The less you hope for, the less you suffer
Reduced expectations lead to reduced suffering
If you dare to trust, then you shall shatter
Trusting leads to destruction
Lunge from the heights and fall to smithereens
Plunge from great heights and face complete destruction
And when you come here with charred wings and a defiled heart
When you arrive broken and corrupted
Wait not for compassion or words of consolation
Do not expect sympathy or comforting words
For only a gleeful smile is greeting you
Only mockery or disdain awaits you
