lyrics

Hardly hearing, these ears have frozen over
It's been great to get to know her, I've been blessed with friends like you
And all through the evening the lights keep flickering
They are trying to get a point across, but I just can't take the hint

Don't make me smile for another picture again
I am falling apart on the inside and yet
My heart isn't ready to let go just yet
I hold on, I'll hold on until my last breath

So don't look at me now, this is not who I am
I am not where I wanna be

Abandoned streetrat, just a lone aristocrat
I am longing to lower these eyelids for some rest
The wind through the windows, dying embers, lonely ghosts
They are dining at the table I've been dying to host

Don't make me smile for another picture again
I am falling apart on the inside and yet
My heart isn't ready to let go just yet
I hold on, I'll hold on until my last breath

So don't look at me now, this is not who I am
I am not where I wanna be

So you'll remember a smile, that is all that I want
That is more than enough for me

You thought that I would leave
But I am staying here
I am staying here

You thought that I would leave
But I am staying here
I am staying here

You thought that I would leave
But I am staying here

You thought that I would leave
But I am staying here

So don't look at me now, this is not who I am
I am not where I wanna be
