The Graves We've Dug
It happened in December
In the days when things get sad for no reason
Strangers share a drink called loneliness
And this city turns into the coldest place
Then I keep you in mind from time to time
I resist to scream your name out loud
I'm sorry I gave you everything I had
Without making sure you ever desired it
People get tired of being sad, being pushed aside
And then they leave, even though they promised they would not
And it's not as if I did not try
But somewhere between being who you needed
And being who I should become, I became a stranger to us both
Teach your heart how to cherish the
People around you before they depart
You know they surely will, if not by a choice, death steals them away
And you'll have the remains of your life to dwell in regrets
Cause the gallows won't disappear, and for sure the graves won't fill
And for sure the graves won't fill
This is the death of our youths
The requiem to our dreams
Almost thirty summers passed
And dropped down on me like fallen leaves
No, we didn't even ask for happiness, just a little less pain
Now, we sing and drink besides the graves we've dug
Perhaps one day, we will meet again
Two stars colliding for another time
Recognizing the pieces of ourselves
We left behind in each other's heart
So search for me in the pitch black night
And my heart longs for you
Whatever you do, search for me
Steal my heart in autumn, where I fall in love by time
We roam the fields together, counting stars and fighting sleep
No, I'm not feeling better yet, it seems I just got used to the words
Cause the gallows won't disappear
And for sure the graves won't ever fill
This was the death of our youths
This was the requiem to our dreams
Almost thirty summers passed
And dropped down on me like fallen leaves
No, we didn't even ask for happiness, no, just a little less pain
This is where we sing and drink besides the graves we've dug
Besides the graves we've dug
In the days when things get sad for no reason
Strangers share a drink called loneliness
And this city turns into the coldest place
Then I keep you in mind from time to time
I resist to scream your name out loud
I'm sorry I gave you everything I had
Without making sure you ever desired it
People get tired of being sad, being pushed aside
And then they leave, even though they promised they would not
And it's not as if I did not try
But somewhere between being who you needed
And being who I should become, I became a stranger to us both
Teach your heart how to cherish the
People around you before they depart
You know they surely will, if not by a choice, death steals them away
And you'll have the remains of your life to dwell in regrets
Cause the gallows won't disappear, and for sure the graves won't fill
And for sure the graves won't fill
This is the death of our youths
The requiem to our dreams
Almost thirty summers passed
And dropped down on me like fallen leaves
No, we didn't even ask for happiness, just a little less pain
Now, we sing and drink besides the graves we've dug
Perhaps one day, we will meet again
Two stars colliding for another time
Recognizing the pieces of ourselves

So search for me in the pitch black night
And my heart longs for you
Whatever you do, search for me
Steal my heart in autumn, where I fall in love by time
We roam the fields together, counting stars and fighting sleep
No, I'm not feeling better yet, it seems I just got used to the words

And for sure the graves won't ever fill

This was the requiem to our dreams
Almost thirty summers passed
And dropped down on me like fallen leaves
No, we didn't even ask for happiness, no, just a little less pain
This is where we sing and drink besides the graves we've dug
Besides the graves we've dug
