Lilac - ENGLISH LYRICS

how long has it been

since you've been away?

'cause i'm holding on to these broken pieces

though it never made you stay 

oh, the smiles we shared back then

left scattered mem'ries replaying in my head 

in blue where there's pain

grey skies, full of rain

i breathe you in deep

a secret i keep, i'd wish to set free

when tears are stained red

tried hard to forget

but it's impossible to go on with what's left

will it be enough? 

how long will it be

'til i see a brand new day?

'cause i'm thinking about the consequences

was it always give-and-take? hmm 

but these pages that we hold so dear

do i dare to fill them in again

without you here?

in red, silence bled

torn fate, severed thread

exhale you in pain, inhaled in your name

etched deep in my veins

and maybe someday

these lilacs could stay

in place of empty spaces that no one could replace

maybe it'll be enough

'cause time keeps moving

while i'm still stuck in place

so close to giving up

and all the color seems to fade

i tried to reach and gasp for air

so why isn't it ever enough?

while others move on

how long has it been?

how long has it been?

would you stay here with me

'til the sunrise?
