Lyrics:

Change your world

I took a flight and came to see you

Trying to break loose

Breathing hope of a new life

I looked for someone true

I took a flight and came to your house

Not a word was spoken

Now every time I feel you are falling down

I want to rush for you

We don’t want to change your world

It would be so useless

We don’t want to make things worse

You don’t need no resolution

We don’t want to change your world

But are you strong enough?

We don’t want to make things worse

All you need is consolation

In the end

You’re afraid of everyday life

Always in a bad mood

You’d rather be protected by a lie

Than hurt by the truth

But that day you fell on the floor

That day you drank a little more

I’m sure you knew what you were doing

In that liquor store

We don’t want to change your world

It would be so useless

We don’t want to make things worse

You don’t need no resolution

We don’t want to change your world

But are you strong enough?

We don’t want to make things worse

All you need is consolation

I took a flight and came to see you

Trying to break loose

Breathing hope of a new life

I looked for someone true

Don ‘t deprive yourself of being happy

There’s something i’ve been missing

All my live

Something about my loneliness

I’m glad to see that I am not the only one

Something about my melancholy

That kind of feeling

Drives me crazy

So don’t deprive yourself

Of being happy

Don’t deprive yourself

Of being cool

Don’t deprive yourself

Of being fool

Of being sweet kind and lovely

Don’t deprive yourself

Of being pure

Of being who you want to be

Don’t deprive yourself

Of being happy

I tell you this because

All the things we’ve done

Might be gone

I know how hard that was for you

I know the absence

I know the blues

The feeling that the night will never end

That kind of loss makes me angry

But we’re all in the same boat honey

So don’t deprive yourself

Of being happy

I tell you this because

All the things we’ve done

Are gone

Don’t deprive yourself

Of being cool

Don’t deprive yourself

Of being fool

Of being sweet kind and lovely

Don’t deprive yourself

Of being sure

Of being who you want to be

Don’t deprive yourself

Of being happy

Don’t deprive yourself

Of being happy

Real lady

Some people see you as a real lady

But now you’re living with a child honey

Isn’t it funny ?

When he’s screaming like a baby

Easy

You want to take your leave

Refrain:

There she goes to a bar with your car

Yes she found a place

Spending all the money

You gave to her

Yesterday

Sitting on a highchair

With her long black hair

Remember what she said

Now she’s flying to the stars

Full of scars

Staring into space

Spending her time drinking wine

A foot in her grave

Sitting on a highchair

Remember what she said:

“I’m a real lady who screams

Now I need a change of scene”

Some people see you as a real lady

But now you’re living with a freak honey

Isn’t it funny ?

He only wants you for your body

Easy

You want to take your leave

Refrain

Final :

“I’m a real lady who screams

Now I need a change of scene”

My dad has gone away

No more fears

And no more cries

Just remember what he looked like

My dad has gone away

The little jokes

The little smiles

I used to see his face

His scars

My dad has gone away

At the deadline

I’ll wash my tears away

See him running through

The countryside

Looking for a place to hide

Running through

The countryside

Looking for a place to die

My dad has gone away

At the deadline

I’ll wash my tears away

No more dreams

And no more lights

Just remember he was my father

Oh my dad has gone away

The little jokes

The little smiles

I used to see his face

His scars

My dad has gone away

Finally

We did nothing to make him stay

Finally

We did nothing to make him stay

Look at the ceiling

It’s four in the morning

I could not sleep

Haven’t been sleeping so much lately

I look at the ceiling

I could not sleep

Because i’m seeing

You are sitting

In the livingroom

Looking at the ceiling

At the shadows of the past

Looking at the ceiling

But they never give a sign

Looking through

All that you’ve done

All we’ve lost

All it’s ongoing

I look at the ceiling

Now I miss your sense of humor

Your sweetness

In the dark hours

I look at the ceiling

Dreaming of the happy times

Looking at the ceiling

But they never give a sign

It’s four in the morning

I could not sleep

Haven’t been sleeping so much lately

I look at the ceiling

I’ll never send my love to hell

They say we cannot win

If we do not play the game

Do you mind if i lose

And if I live this way ?

I don’t get enough time to waste

Playing that game

I only wish i’ll never send my love

To hell

I’ll never send my move

To hell

I’ll never send my love

A million miles away from here

Somewhere we haven’t been before

Does she hear all my blues

Walking along the shore ?

I don’t get enough time to waste

Moaning all day

I only wish i’ll never send my love

To hell

I’ll never send my love

To hell

I’ll never send my love to hell

To hell

I’ll never send my love

To hell

I’ll never send my love

To hell

Deep end

It’s the same old story

We were thrown in at the deep end

Don’t make up stories

Thrown into the world to early

I am a castaway

Lost in the sea

Whashed up on the sand

Eaten by the ocean

I was cut off from our land

It’s the same old story

You were facing death with your own fear

Don’t make up stories

Losing ground under your feet

Born in a family

Who wiped away my tears

My father used to take care of me

Heal my broken heart

Family life

Have you ever seen my father?

Have you ever seen my mom ?

Have you ever seen my brother?

Have you ever seen them all?

I you see them

Tell them I miss them

If you meet them

Tell them

I love them

We have died so many times

Everybody knows that

You did on purpose

From now on

You will never be the same

But i have always known

Life is not all roses

When this world

Comes slowly to an end

Guess we never thought

About

A passion that might kill us

That’s why

We have died so many times

In the silence of our crime

Without knowing

Without mind

In the silence of our crime

Everybody said

You did nothing

To make him stay

From above

You will never feel ashame

But i have always known

I’ll see you in the rainbow

While this world comes slowly to an end

Guess we never thought

About

A passion that might kill us

That’s why

We have died so many times

We have died so many time

Without knowing

With no sign

Without worrying

Without mind

In the silence of our crime

Too close to the sun

The rain is falling

I’m walking on a seafloor

See all those million tears

I can’t drop anymore

When your wings were burning

I saw flames from the shore

Dad

Tell me

You did it for fun

You flew

Too close to the sun

In case you wouldn’t know

The reason of the fall

Memories come rushing

I can’t dwell in the absence

If only someone else

Could break

That defeaning silence

When I was a boy

Worried

Waiting for you behind the door

Dad

Tell me

You did it for fun

You flew

Too close to the sun

You flew

Too close to the sun

In case you wouldn’t know

The reason of the fall

Like father like son

You’ve got the eyes

You’ve got the same long face

You’ve got that smile

You’ve got those finger’s bend

You’ve got the soul

You’ve got the style it takes

You’ve got everything he gave to you

The same name

The same grace

Look at that nose

Look at that big forehead

That’s why people said

Like father like son

Like father

Everybody knows where

You come from

Like father like son

You’ve got the same tenderness

Same sense humor

Hiding a sweet darkness

You make the same jokes

You give the same strokes

I’m sure you really like going out

You’re a spitting image of him

He loved you more than anything

That’s why people sing

Like father like son

Like father like

Everybody knows the day he’s gone

Everybody knows what he has done

Everybody knows where you come from

Like father like son
