{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}
