{intimate
fingerpicked acoustic guitar, soft tape hiss,
warm room ambiance} We were meant to conquer everything we saw
But we built our fortress with a fatal flaw
You're the breath I breathe,
the reason I began
To want a better life,
to be a better man
{vocal close to the microphone,
fragile acoustic accompaniment} But we hurt each other,
running from the pain
Just another knight lost in your wicked game
While you keep a king
who wears another face
Heartache and sorrow
owns the center stage {acoustic
guitar grows slightly more intense,
soft cello enters} Why is it so hard just to be next
to you? (ahhhh) When you're the only dream I ever knew
Leaving this planet would feel better than today (than today) One more
sunrise with you a world away {building string section,
passionate vocal delivery} Abandonment is looking like our only grace
You never cared how deep your weapon leaves a trace
It's always what I did,
never what you do
My breath of fresh air,
why is it so hard with you?
{guitar dynamic
softens, single cello notes} Why is it so hard just to be
next to you? (ahhhh) When you're the only dream I ever knew
Leaving this planet would feel better than today (than today)
One more sunrise with you a world away {swelling cello,
emotive acoustic climax} My breath of fresh air...
Why is
it
so hard...
{acoustic guitar fades out slowly,
single sustained cello note,
room silence}
