We  met that night  when the sea  ran high
 And I craved  for more  of that near-love  experience
Those  who the music  hath then  joined together  are now  put asunder
 Remember me  when I lit  the fire
 To keep  us warm  on a cold  winter morning
Now  I pass through the moment.. Can  I still recognize  a beautiful..  melody?
 I play  a note,  but hear  no sound
 Have I lost  my love  or the wings  I found?
When  I was young,  and eager  to please  anyone  who had time..
Needed  to sing  the very notes  I heard
 Had to stay  in the shadows  and seek  for the loneliness..
 Nevertheless, the price  was higher than I had realized
 I was to live  alone, ready to make  the sacrifice..
Was  I in love with you?
My  old heart,  little harder  again
 Once the light  goes out, everything ends,  it is time..
 Ready to cause a scene,  ready to make the sacrifice
 Ready to play  the note, ready to end  the final show
The  only thing I know..
 The pain  is here  to stay  I fear..
In  my eyes.. I  can change  one note  and make  you cry
In  this state of mind.. Silence is  a crime
How  can life  be so feigned  and cold?
 I've answered  the call  of every melody, lovingly
Did  I find the answers  to all  my questions,
 Or a gravenimage  of me..
 If I found  the hidden foun  - tain..
 Drank the wisdom from  its deep..
 Would I have  the time  to save me?
   *vocally hold the M3 even after you release to Em*
 Would I have.. them both.. to.. keep..?

[Em]My old [Am]heart, little [G]harder a[D]gain
Once the [Em]light goes [Am]out, [G]everything [D]ends, it is [C]time..
Ready to cause a [D]scene, ready to make the [Em]sacrifice
Ready to [Bm]play the note, ready to [C]end the final show
[D]The only thing I know..

The [Am]pain is [C]here to [Em]stay I [G]fear..
