Growing up - falling down
You´ve fallen into sleep and left me alone
in this bedroom of loneliness
And I find myself
falling out of love
and into a deep
tunnel of doubt
Lying here with you after making love
ought to make me happy
but instead I get a horrible feeling
that I am actually hiding
from my path in life
It is as if
some stranger keeps me trapped
in this lonely bedroom
leaving me and me
in two parts
And I cannot tell myself, you or anybody else
whether this stranger
is me or you
or both of us
or simply everything
It´s scaring to sleep alone
and I wanna stay and I wanna leave
´cause there´s this horrible feeling
that with you by my side
I will only manage
to survive
You're undoubtedly the most beautiful
woman I have ever slept with
but I can´t see your soul
and I absolutely can´t feel mine, either
though we´re both completely naked
I can feel my body
and I can see yours
but I cannot feel my mind
and the truth about us
seems to be a lie
All I want is
a love that´s true and convincing
so I know that I´m not
cursed
But hey - in the future
we will get married
and have kids
And soon you´ll wear my ring
That´s great!
You´re so beautiful so
I simply have to pull myself together!
I´m determined
to battle this feeling
of dispair
´Cause this ain´t here, for sure!
The day is dawning and I am
still struggling to convince myself
that you´re the angel that came to earth
to make love to my life
And I see my better me hanging
on the wall
while you´re sleeping here
ascending the throne as
The Queen of my curse
Growing up - falling down
Growing up - falling down
Growing up - falling down
