The dancing shadows on the window of this bus she's riding,
They're being shot, they're frozen still, to hide her heart behind the dusk.
Her hopes were but a mirage of the bon voyage you told her before she was gone,
But now I see it clearly and think you lied sincerely.
Because of you, she's always blue and cannot find relief.
Because of you, she's got this burden and her heart's no longer on her sleeve.
She preferred to move on, but you picked her on, saying “where can you stay but with me?”
She's broken beyond mending, yet you keep tormenting.
If it feels like it doesn't hurt anymore,
Perhaps she's become numb?
Fighting on never helped her move, or to be approved,
But does she want it to change?
Why live to be able to fight?
Why love if it results in cries?
I do not want it to end, so…
To die would mean
To never be able to say good-bye,
To never find the peace of mind
I do not want it to end, so…
And in the past she'd run away from you across the sea
But you would hunt her down and plead her mother to grant you some clemency.
If only she escaped again...
But at this point the road is full of hurdles,
So she is running in her mind,
In circles, in circles.
Oh, and that's how you two wound up,
Happiness you can't dig up
We all live in the present
That's all but pleasant,
Is it too late for it to change?
If you run like you run for your life?
If bonds end up broken from strife?
I do not want it to end, so...
To die would mean
To never be able to say good-bye,
To never find the peace of mind
I do not want it to end, so…
But time will pass and she would soon forgive,
As if nothing happened.
If only she hated, if she had made it
Away with that stupid heart of hers
Before she learned to mortify,
Before wreaking havoc with lies.
I can't take what you have done to her, no more.
She has been fighting a losing battle.
You're making her feel so little,
I would love if you could end it,
I wish, love, that you would end it...
