[lyrics]

burn down this house from the inside

Strophe 1

a love is like a house
and we had ours
but this seems so far away
the walls were so high
they kept us safely inside
I just wanted to stay
but then came a time
when you had made up your mind
I had to watch you go
and a ruin remained
up to this very day
it´s time to tear down the walls

Strophe 2

a love is like a house
and we had ours
but this is long ago
and a ruin remained
up to this very day
it´s time to tear down the walls

Ref.:

it´s like carving deep scars in my skin
but I don´t feel any pain
I burn down this house from the inside
and I feel like falling asleep
it´s getting harder to breathe
but I´m not going to leave until the fire is out

C-Part

I´ve waited much too long
to do what must be done
it is time for letting go
when a river has run dry
everything around will die
and it´s the best to move on

 

try again

Strophe 1

a second close to your skin
eye to eye while we are dancing
and nothing will remain
you´re a stranger and so I am
someone said the party is over
but I can´t see anyone leaving
now don´t be shy and just come closer
save the last dance for me

Strophe 2

the crowd is cruel like the flood
they are making their way right between us
and I try to pull you back
but you´re already miles away
waving hands in the dark
the magic ends with a new dawning
this could be the big big love
if you take a chance on me

Ref.:

try, try again
even though it does not feel familiar
try, try again
it is just one step away from your shelter
and I swear it won´t kill you
if you dare to take a look at what is behind
try, try again
and you may never be the same
