She took the part
That broke her heart
And soon would take her life

But the pirouettes
Help her forget
She's dancing on a knife

You always give me love
But I'm hostile towards you

You always trust in me
But I'm clueless what to do

You tell everyone I'm a gentleman
But I've never held the door

You tell everyone I'm a hero
But I've never been to war

You say I make you happy
But I only see you frown

You say I lift you up
But I only let you down

You think that I'm a man
But a man I'll never be

Why do you think I'm always scared
When you believe in me?

I'm just a dreamer
Chasing shadows in the night
Pretending they're real

Survivors carry
The lives of those who have passed
Into the new world

You used to love me
But I never used to love
Who I used to be

These feelings of love
Make us throw off contentment
To find something more

Though my hands no longer hold
Your tender hands as years unfold
Though my hands have gone cold

Though my lips no longer speak
Whisper gently, kiss your cheek
Though no more words my lips to speak

Theres an echo out on the air
Of words our voices never shared

May the circle
Carry your soul away
Far from the skies of grey
And though we part

Through the circle
We may have reached the end
But love will return again
Into your heart

Though we thought the storm would pass
We hid inside our house of glass
Casting stones at each others past

Cracks and leaks the rain got in
Dousing flames of hearts within
Cold drops clinging to our skin

The things that we thought forever gone
May warm us in the light of dawn

May the circle
Carry your soul away
Far from the skies of grey
And though we part

Through the circle
We may have reached the end
But love will return again
Into your heart

May the circle
Never become a chain
And let us return again
Back to the start

Without each other
How could we ever find home
In this placeless age?

Accept no limits
And we'll shine like the diamonds
That our tied hands mine

Ancient distant stars
A window into the past
That lights present skies
