Lyrics

    Breeze still carries the sound
    Maybe I’ll disappear
    Tracks will fade in the snow
    You won’t find me here
    
    Ice is starting to form
    Ending what had begun
    I am locked in my head
    With what I’ve done
    I know you tried to rescue me
    Didn’t let anyone get in
    Left with a trace of all that was
    And all that could have been
    
    Please
    Take this
    And run far away
    Far away from me
    I am
    Tainted
    The two of us
    Were never meant to be
    All these
    Pieces
    And promises and left behinds
    If only I could see
    In my
    Nothing
    You meant everything
    Everything to me
    Gone fading everything
    And all that could have been
    
    Please
    Take this
    And run far away
    Far as you can see
    I am
    Tainted
    And happiness and peace of mind
    Were never meant for me
    All these
    Pieces
    And promises and left behinds
    If only I could see
    In my
    Nothing
    You meant everything
    Everything to me
