lyrics

Because of what it was
When threw back your duvet
Eyes burning bright
I couldn't turn away
But eclipse of the stars
in a darkened room
Like death itself
in the family tomb
I needed you the most
that what I've said
But you destroyed yourself
when you were lying in bed

Because of what it was
the rooms you laughed within
wandering hands
caressing someone's skin
And thoughts that improvised
a tearful story
Love like a lie
deceit in all its glory
I trusted you the most
that's what I've said
but you destroyed yourself
when you were lying in bed

And you had once said to me
"Sleeping is an easy feat"
Though thoughts meant to interpret
dreaming on your feet
And you had once said to me
"Dreams are not reality"
Though premonitions tell me
showing your morality

Because of what it was
when dawn came at end of day
Shepherd's red sky warning
came too late to stop your play
My heart weighs empty
and turmoil has slain
I want to wake up
but pinching is pain
I loved you the most
that's what I've said
But you destroyed yourself
when you were lying in bed
