This one should be about someone's ex-girlfriend. (Hey you, don't buy this album to your ex-girlfriend. Rather get two of them for your current girlfriend. And just to make it clear: it applies to ex-boyfriends as well!)
lyrics
Your eyes that break my shell
feed my love
i cannot save myself
without love
it's hard to leave behind
all the time we don't have any more
no shiver down my spine
without love
the void here by my side
need your love
i cannot leave behind
all the time we don't have
But i'm sure
that the storm
leaves the sea
when you come back home
i die
and my soul
goes to hell
when you leave me alone
Your picture on my wall
feeds my love
please turn lead into gold
with your love
i cannot leave behind
all the time we don't have any more
i cannot save myself
without love
come back at six AM
with your love
i cannot leave behind
all the time we don't have
But i'm sure
that the storm
leaves the sea
when you come back home
i die
and my soul
goes to hell
when you leave me alone
so many things that i could say
but the heaven threw me away from you
so many things that i could say
but the heaven threw me away from venus
