Melancholy Dreams

Carve my heart out and let
It bleed in your hand.
There’s so much I haven’t told
You about my life.

Let me fly away in your arms.
Just one last time.
And I promise you I’ll never call
Out your name again.

Oh sweet melancholy dreams
Stay with me just a little longer.
Kiss my lips with sorrow.
Let me stay here till tomorrow.

The secrets that you hide from me.
The secrets that I started hiding from you.
What’s happened to us?
Where will we go now?

I fear you’ll leave my side.
Just like she did.
Just like they did.
I’m sorry I screwed things up in the end.

Oh sweet melancholy dreams
Stay with me just a little longer.
Kiss my lips with sorrow.
Let me stay here till tomorrow.

But someday soon, everything will be okay.
I’ll bloom like a blossom.
I’ll be free from my cage.
Can you hear me again?
See me again?
Love me again?
Oh….

Oh sweet melancholy dreams
Stay with me just a little longer.
Kiss my lips with sorrow.
Let me stay here till tomorrow.
