With such strange surroundings
Along the stairs so winding
But don't you catch a fright
You have to feel alive
We can't pray for silence
Bargain for peace and quiet
Even when it hurts
The feelings won't return
Never in the moment
Always out of focus
The things that you adore
Not worth fighting for?
You're not my queen of hearts
You'll never paint me red
With Treasured thoughts of home
Somewhere to rest my head
But I'm never going back
You'll never see my face again
For all the fallen dreams
The ones you couldn't live
If I could just forgive
Is this now the real you?
Or did we skip the previews?
When the illusion gone
Will I be in the wrong?
Never in the moment
Always out of focus
The things that you adore
Not worth fighting for?
You're not my queen of hearts
You'll never paint me red
With Treasured thoughts of home
Somewhere to rest my head
But I'm never going back
You'll never see my face again
For all the fallen dreams
The ones you couldn't live
If I could just forgive
But If I'd only stayed away
There'd be something left to save
But I was way too close
And you were letting go
Never in the moment
Always out of focus
The things that you adore
Not worth fighting for?
You're not my queen of hearts
You'll never paint me red
With Treasured thoughts of home
Somewhere to rest my head
But I'm never going back
You'll never see my face again
For all the fallen dreams
The ones you couldn't live
If I could just forgive
