Icy Ash

At first there were just simple words,
But now they're sharp and cut like knives.
All that we say is barely heard
In these confused and messy lives.
Oh, tell me now what should I do?
How can I live with all this pain?
My heart is torn and broken through,
Our home is ruined in the rain.

Leave all your grudges far behind,
Bring back the warmth of early spring.
I'm still with you, and you are mine,
Don't let our broken vessel sink.
Let all the sorrow fade away,
The wind will blow the smoke and clash.
Our common star must always stay,
Don't turn our love to icy ash.

You can't just buy a love that's true,
For happiness we have to fight.
Please, darling, make a step tonight,
Trust in my hands and hold me tight.
I see we're out of sync today,
Believe me, this will end quite soon.
Our house is like an attic, grey,
A locked-up door, no moon, no day.

Leave all your grudges far behind,
Bring back the warmth of early spring.
I'm still with you, and you are mine,
Don't let our broken vessel sink.
Let all the sorrow fade away,
The wind will blow the smoke and clash.
Our common star must always stay,
Don't turn our love to icy ash.

To save the spark we must move on,
To make the flame burn bright and high,
Before the greyish mist is drawn
Across our dull and boring sky.
But you refuse to see it through,
To stay with me until the end.
You cannot give your love, it's true,
While scars of past mistakes still strain.

Forgive me for the things I've done,
And let this sadness set us free.
A new way has to be begun...
Behind the door — it's only me.
