Lyrics

[Verse 1]

We suffer everyday, what is it for?

These crams of illusion are fooling us all

And now I am weary and I feel like I do

[Verse 2]

It's only you who can tell me apart

And it's only you who can turn my wooden heart

[Verse 3]

The size of our fight, it's just a dream

We've crushed everything, I can't see in this morning selfishly

How we feel and I feel like I do

[Verse 4]

It's only you who can tell me apart

And it's only you who can turn my wooden heart

[Verse 5]

Now that we've chosen to take all we can

The shade of autumn will stare bitter end

Years of frustration laid down side by side

[Verse 6]

And it's only you who can tell me apart

And it's only you who can turn my wooden heart

It's only you who can tell me apart

And it's only you who can turn my wooden heart
