Blowing out the flame

I sold my soul for diamonds
And reason for acclaim
Been begging for white angels
To blow my mind away
Been growing funny flowers
Where roses never grew
I stayed awake all night
When I woke up from dreams
Of me and you
I tried to take the sun and I went blind
God help me to erase you from my mind
I´m growing cold
And the night is yet to come
Anyone tell me is this
The way it´s meant to be
Lost and isolated
I´m way too complicated
For you to lean on me
I play a losing game
I cried in desperation
Mental devastation
I´m blowing out the flame
Self-pity gave me shelter
I always hid away in vice
Dyslexic, torn and tattered
I tried to read the signs
You never tried to take a look
At the one I´d have died to be
Now it seems you don´t see me at all
Was it all worth it
Visions holding sway
When the real thing got lost along the way
Yes anyone tell me is this
The way it´s meant to be
I´m lost and isolated
Way too complicated
For you to lean on me
I play a losing game
I cried in desperation
Mental devastation
I´m blowing out the flame
Yes anyone tell me is this
The way it´s meant to be
Lost and isolated
I´m way too complicated
For you to lean on me
I play a losing game
I cried in desperation
Mental devastation
I´m blowing out the flame
And reason for acclaim
Been begging for white angels
To blow my mind away
Been growing funny flowers
Where roses never grew
I stayed awake all night
When I woke up from dreams
Of me and you
I tried to take the sun and I went blind
God help me to erase you from my mind
I´m growing cold
And the night is yet to come
Anyone tell me is this
The way it´s meant to be
Lost and isolated
I´m way too complicated
For you to lean on me
I play a losing game
I cried in desperation
Mental devastation
I´m blowing out the flame
Self-pity gave me shelter
I always hid away in vice
Dyslexic, torn and tattered
I tried to read the signs
You never tried to take a look
At the one I´d have died to be
Now it seems you don´t see me at all
Was it all worth it
Visions holding sway
When the real thing got lost along the way
Yes anyone tell me is this
The way it´s meant to be
I´m lost and isolated
Way too complicated
For you to lean on me
I play a losing game
I cried in desperation
Mental devastation
I´m blowing out the flame
Yes anyone tell me is this
The way it´s meant to be
Lost and isolated
I´m way too complicated
For you to lean on me
I play a losing game
I cried in desperation
Mental devastation
I´m blowing out the flame
