Life is what happens when we are busy planning it...

Life…




I wonder how much life I can take
without you in it.
I wonder how often I can change my name
and still be me.

I wish I hadn’t seen what I’ve seen.
I wish I hadn’t done what I did.

In my heart - fire is burning
I choose my colors long ago
now I don’t speak anymore.

You can’t love me again…
that’s all right baby.

I have wasted thousands years looking for love
all the wrong places.
The passion that breaks reason in two
- made me this way.

I don’t need your love, just your present
All I ever wanted was a witness
- a witness to my life.

And I wish I hadn’t seen what I’ve seen.

If it's wrong to remember
to hold the dead past in my fist,
then why were I given memories?

I meet people – I have trouble understanding
Excuse me for being me –
the only thing that stay
with me
is the thought of you.

I close my eyes, so I can’t see
the ghost in the mirror,
realizing
I’m never going to be free.

Turn down the lights;
turn down these voices inside my head.

Take my hand, lay down with me,
tell me no lies
just hold me close, don't talk.

I wish I hadn’t done what I did.

I need to sleep, maybe forever –
For now,
here in the dark, in these final hours
it doesn’t matter if everything went wrong.

It’s all right;
Times up – I know life has past
just give me a minute more.

I wish I hadn’t seen what I’ve seen.

Morning will come and you will be gone.
I wish I hadn’t done what I did.

Just give me a minute more.
A minute, a second of your presence
a lifetime in my world.

I lived so many lives,
all the moment’s that passed – I wish to go back
and make them last forever.

I wish I hadn’t seen what I’ve seen.
I wish I hadn’t done what I did.
