Spellbound

As I closed my eyes a thousand times
Each warning sign
Went by unrecognised
My heart was captured
Finally it’s time to break the spell
To say farewell
To seek the antidote to the poison
No, I can’t believe I’m haunted still
Rewind the film
Just standing there so helpless watching it all fall to pieces

The dreams that you’ve taken from me
Though my heart shattered
I will break free, oh baby
At the mercy of sad memories
You can fulfil your own destiny

Looking back at the dishonesty
Naivety
Mistakes I won’t repeat in the future
I never knew that you could have no soul
Could be so cold
In the aftermath of such confusion
Put my trust in you, oh my best friend
In the end
You tore it up and now I wonder what I can believe in

The dreams that you’ve taken from me
Though my heart shattered
I will break free, oh baby
At the mercy of sad memories
You can fulfil your own destiny. oh you’ll see
Alone in the hollow of night
In the darkest depths I felt crucified, oh truly
All the time you were living a lie
I’ll leave in the past
As this is goodbye

What happened to the times
Racing for the prize
Waking with the sunrise
Feeling butterflies?
Trying to deny
Telling myself lies
Still believing things can work out alright

The dreams that you’ve taken from me
Though my heart shattered
I will break free, oh baby
At the mercy of sad memories
You can fulfil your own destiny. oh you’ll see
Alone in the hollow of night
In the darkest depths I felt crucified, oh truly
All the time you were living a lie
I’ll leave in the past
As this is our last goodbye
