At a second glance You thought you recognised despair For a fraction of a second You were searching for a reason You pretended cheerfully, But instead you tried to hide away When everybody's laughter Seems to rip you all apart And your life carries on the same And your life will be the same Going back again to see Stages from the recent past But everywhere you turn There is no chance to continue Nothing really holds you back >From stepping through that yesterday For every new beginning There will be some other end And when you cry there are no tears left for liberation You don't listen to your own explanations There are no rules you left behind from your desperation There's no need to fear the way, that you've led You'll run again, Faster than you've ever been You don't feel the cold, It's never been like this before Determination in your eyes, Now you don't know the reasons why You can't say goodbye But you never really said hello
