Reckless

I cannot make them disappear
The things you’ve seen, the thoughts you bear
I wish that someone could just wash it all away
So point your gun right at my fears
Don’t be surprised there’s no more tears
How many lies until you understand that we

We share the same scars
You know how much it hurts and so do I
No more the reckless
We see the same stars
And underneath their lights we both will fade
No more the reckless

Look at the shattered memories to your feet
They’re left for dead and so are we
The deal’s done, we’re far beyond the point of no return
You ask “Will you ever learn from your mistakes?”
Oh come on, give me a break
So many lies, still you don’t understand that we

We share the same scars
You know how much it hurts and so do I
No more the reckless
We see the same stars
And underneath their lights we both will fade
No more the reckless

I cannot stand the mirrors sight
I cannot help it, I can’t decide
If I should blame you or myself for what I see
I turn my back on everyone I know
My focus now is set on you
But I’m regretting every step along the way

Now she’s calling out my name
But I can’t just look away
This is what you made of me
This is what I’m becoming

And then she faded, I lost her sight
She was whispering, could not decide
If she should hate me or herself for that she pleads

Now she’s calling out my name
But I can’t just look away
This is what you made of me
This is what I’m becoming

Oh no, you’re drowning, again
So close, you’re reaching out for my hand
Take a look at yourself, now you’re here at the end
Don’t hope for me, got no tears left for rent
This is the time when you need to decide
Will you stand by the waves, will you fall for the tides?

I know it’s hard but I can’t save you
I can barely save myself
This is how the story goes
So now it’s time to choose
It’s sink or swim

Tonight a part of you might fall
So hard that you might even break apart
Take a look at yourself, now you’re here at the end
Don’t hope for me, got no tears left for rent
This is the time when you need to decide
Will you stand by the waves, will you fall for the tides?

I know it’s hard but I can’t save you
I can barely save myself
This is how the story goes
So now it’s time to choose
It’s sink or swim

Once you had it all, the things you have been longing for
You were so safe, so secure – never mind that you might fall

It’s in your head, inside your mind, awareness of reality
Your lifetime spent or wasted now may best be labeled vanity

I’ve seen your face was brightening, I knew the thoughts you shared
Your eyes were full of shining lights, to take you down nobody dared

It’s in your head, inside your mind, awareness of reality
Your lifetime spent or wasted now may best be labeled vanity

But then you fall down in despair
Reached for my hand, afraid and stared

It’s in your head, inside your mind, awareness of reality
Your lifetime spent or wasted now may best be labeled vanity

I cannot tame what you’ve become
I cannot make your crimes undone
But there’s no shame in leaving of what’s left behind
This is no game, I’m burning down the bridges and

Your thoughts and your letters, excuses won’t matter
I’m sensing the flames of what we have been
Now at this level, the lies of a devil
I can read them in your eyes
I will break free

There’s nothing left for us to save
All that we had has gone to waste
I won’t turn back, not up to me to clear that mess
You’re just not worth the time that I used to invest

Your thoughts and your letters, excuses won’t matter
I’m sensing the flames of what we have been
Now at this level, the lies of a devil
I can read them in your eyes
I will break free

Too many words were said today
Take all your lies, shut them away
You try to wage this as a fight
You won’t back down, neither will I

You’re not a saint for that I know
Ten thousand sins won’t let you go
You’re not a saint for that I know
Ten thousand sins won’t let you go

The look that’s creeping up your eyes
Won’t sting my heart to death this time
Surprised that I won’t bite my tongue?
You’ve been wearing that crown for far too long

You’re not a saint for that I know
Ten thousand sins won’t let you go
All broken promises will show
That deep inside you just can’t let go

You’re not a saint for that I know
Ten thousand sins won’t let you go
You’re not a saint for that I know
Ten thousand sins won’t let you go

My life feels put on hold while yours just seems to rush
If we collide again now I fear that you might crush me

Tell me where did you become so numb?
Was it hard to leave me when I called your name?
Take all your words and vows, I’m coming undone
Some are not worth saving after all

I slip into the void that’s closing in on me
I tend to give myself to your voice, it’s ringing in my dreams

Tell me where did you become so numb?
Was it hard to leave me when I called your name?
Take all your words and vows, I’m coming undone
Some are not worth saving after all

You’re walking down the lane and you are silent
But no one’s by your side ‘cause you denied them
But I’m not giving in ‘cause you’ll be messed up
If you continue to face this on your own

When you feel alone, about to back down
Don’t give in because I can be your savior
I can, I can be your savior

I’m feeling overwhelmed by your ability
To leave us all behind, you don’t have to run, dear
Nobody else can see what I can see in you
You’ll be the brightest star, if you let me raise you

When you feel alone, about to back down
Don’t give in because I can be your savior
I can, I can be your savior

What’s all this masquerade, what are you hiding from?
Why don’t you break the ice and follow me home?

When you feel alone, about to back down
Don’t give in because I can be your savior
I can, I can be your savior

Don’t push too far, I have been speechless far too long
From the very start you had me thinking I was wrong
But I cut the strings, I guess that’s not what puppets do
But I know in the end the only puppet will be you

So come and get me, I won’t hide
Today it’s my time to shine
I won’t run, I won’t hide
I’m the one who will be fine tonight

So once you were the one to make me feel alright
But that door has closed, my sight got dark but there’s a light
And it’s over now – don’t think you’ll ever strike again
‘Cause I will put you down, I’ll never be the same again

So come and get me, I won’t hide
Today it’s my time to shine
I won’t run, I won’t hide
I’m the one who will be fine tonight

There are sides to me that you don’t know
Sides that angels would not show
Though it hurts, I want you to see
There’s not only a saint in me
If I revealed them all to you
All my bruises and my scars
Would you still see the holy wings?
Would you still want to give me your heart?

No feathers, no wings to fly
I’m not your angel, no halo to shine
Forgive me, but this I can’t be
I’m not your angel
When will you see?

Through the years you used to idolize
Paint your picture of who I might be
But come take a look, open your eyes and see
There’s not only a saint in me
I don’t want to put that load on you
I don’t want to leave you with nothing but scars
So please just turn around and leave
You should never give me your heart

No feathers, no wings to fly
I’m not your angel, no halo to shine
Forgive me, but this I can’t be
I’m not your angel
When will you see?

I’m not the things that you need
And I don’t want to make your heart bleed no more
Just cut the ties and you’ll see
That your angel sings far from here

No feathers, no wings to fly
I’m not your angel, no halo to shine
Forgive me, but this I can’t be
I’m not your angel
When will you see?

It’s so familiar here, being faced with all my fears
Back then I would be scared – so where’s the part of me that cared?
Now what is left of me
Is what you see, you can’t believe?
Trust your eyes, they’re all you need
Will you dare to take the lead?

Will you dive deep into my heaven?
Will you find the key to my own hell?
Every moment here feels like forever
I won’t make it out myself

And now you come around here, telling me “No need for tears”
If it is all so easy then go ahead on me and take your chance
Now what is left of me
Is what you see, you can’t believe?
Trust your eyes, they’re all you need
Will you dare to take the lead?

Will you dive deep into my heaven?
Will you find the key to my own hell?
Every moment here feels like forever
I won’t make it out myself
