Other People's Stories

Come take my hand and we’ll walk into the woods This is my kingdom, now this is your home If you believe, sometimes pretend If you fight back, in the end you should shall see What it’s worth Other people’s stories, they are just like mine But for one thing: I did what they plan In my darkest hour I just killed a man With the silver bullet in the barrel of my gun I should know better by the age of twenty-eight But I took the chance and I never once looked back If you believe, sometimes pretend If you fight back, in the end you should shall see What it’s worth Other people’s stories, they are just like mine But for one thing: I did what they plan In my darkest hour I just killed a man With the silver bullet in the barrel of my gun When the sun climbs up over Victoria Hill I will stop and take one last breath Then, they’ll come for me Other people’s stories, they are just like mine But for one thing: I did what they plan In my darkest hour I just killed a man With the silver bullet in the barrel of my gun I did it for you I did it for you I did it for you I did it for you I did it for you

Rumours were I lit the fire I lit the fire then ran away My oh my, hold me tight Hold me tight, make it right The house burned down to the ground To the ground, ashes and dust My oh my, hold me tight Hold me tight, make it right I have tried to search my soul For traces of remorse I find nothing of the kind I will dance upon your grave I won’t shed a tear that day I will not bring sorrow to my door Not to my door I still hear you scream from the house Scream from the house, trapped inside My oh my, hold me tight Hold me tight, make it right I have tried to search my soul For traces of remorse I find nothing of the kind I will dance upon your grave I won’t shed a tear that day I will not bring sorrow to my door Not to my door Sorrow to my door Rumours were I lit the fire I lit the fire then ran away My oh my, hold me tight Hold me tight, make it right

I walk out of the shade into the light For what must be the very first time I don’t walk fast, I’m enjoying each step Then I see you from a distance And I smile Smile through my tears Falling apart is not for me I’d rather stick to fighting When I’ve been here for years For a thousand years There will still be dark days ahead I cry even though I smile Smiling through tears is something that I’ll recommend Sometimes, when you’re near Oh, I sense you in here I know it has taken a while for me to come clear It’s getting darker outside I put on a coat It’s been a while since I felt cold I don’t walk fast, I’m enjoying each step Then I see you from a distance And I smile Smile through my tears I cry even though I smile Smiling through tears is something that I’ll recommend Sometimes, when you’re near Oh, I sense you in here I know it has taken a while for me to come clear

Did you ever think of me? Did you ever think that I cared? How could you walk away just like that? Oh, you knew that I, that I depended on you I was only ever scared When you tried to make feel Like I was the only one You where only ever there When I tried to push you away Oh, you’ve come back for more Did you ever come to ask? Did you ever come to see? How come you never let me go? How come I, I never said no? (Look how she’s dancing) I was only ever scared (Look how she’s holding her head up) When you tried to make feel Like I was the only one (Look how she’s dancing) You where only ever there (Look how she’s holding her head up) When I tried to push you away Oh, you’ve come back for more Don’t say a word I have found peace This will be my home My home is where you are Don’t say a word I have found peace This will be my home My home is where you are (Look how she’s dancing.) I was only ever scared (Look how she’s holding her head up.) When you tried to make feel Like I was the only one (Look how she’s dancing.) You where only ever there (Look how she’s holding her head up.) So you’ve come back for more

Mother, I feel so cold She says, and stares into the dark I take hold of her hands She’s burning like fire I have seen the lilies bloom On a cold winter day I have heard dead men speak And wash their sins away No more shall I fear the night I have seen it all I’d give away my heart and soul If only that could bring her back She was fair, like light and day She was my heart’s delight She says no one’s to blame But indeed I blame myself I have seen the lilies bloom On a cold winter day I have heard dead men speak And wash their sins away No more shall I fear the night I have seen it all I’d give away my heart and soul If only that could bring her back to life I have seen the lilies bloom On a cold winter day I have heard dead men speak And wash their sins away No more shall I fear the night I have seen it all I’d give away my heart and soul If only that could bring her back to life

I couldn’t stop driving I drove all night All the way from Berlin I thought I might shoot her I never thought crying Would make me weak But when she stood there All tearful I had to ask myself why Is she worth coming here for? Will she do me good? Don’t try to push me now I’m working hard for my living Don’t try to tell me how I’m supposed to live my life She came from somewhere She was too young She had it coming She took it too far I could say something Just to be nice But I don’t believe in Making things right I put on my gloves I have done this before It won’t cost a thing Don’t try to push me now I’m working hard for my living Don’t try to tell me how I’m supposed to live my life And how easy it all could have been How easy somebody’s life can be What if I do? What if I don’t? What if I do? What if I don’t? What if I do? What if I do? Don’t try to push me now I’m working hard for my living Don’t try to tell me how I’m supposed to live my life And how easy it all could have been How easy somebody’s life can be

I let myself in Through the kitchen door Silence at first I found her on the floor “I have walked through fire”, she said I ran, I ran as fast as I could But I was too late Just like my father she gave away Every hour of every day She could never find a way out of this place Her life was carved in stone There was not much I could do She let me stay the night “I have walked through fire”, she said I ran, I ran as fast as I could But I was too late Just like my father she gave away Every hour of every day She could never find a way out of this place Her life was carved in stone Even the birds are crying How come I feel no pain No sadness at all? Just like my father she gave away Every hour of every day She could never find a way out of this place Her life was carved in stone

While there is light there is life, I hear you say While there is life there is hope, I hear you say I didn’t want to meet your eyes But when I do they shine I’m not worthy of being shone for Wherever you wanderer I followed you there But nothing seems to last for a lifetime anymore I cannot feel your touch, I am numb When you speak I find it hard To understand your words I never meant it to cause you any anger or grief We both agree that nothing is what it once was When I look at you it hurts When I hold you tigh it feels like We only just met When I hold you tigh it feels like We only just met When I hold you tigh it feels like We only just met
