Isolation

Oh I have been thinking
All night watched you sleeping
´Cause I couldn´t keep my eyes closed
We´ve tried ´cause we had to
Told lies like they were true
But ties they are frayed and won´t hold
Look into my face my eyes are red
And the ashtray´s been up all night, all night
[Refrain]
Oh Isolation I just cannot get through
I don´t know what else to do
Isolation, I´m not the one to kiss and tell
Could it be it´s time to say farewell
It´s alright to let go and take flight
When you know that a sigh takes the place of a shout
Oh why are these windows shut tight?
Are you so scared of night and the voice of this town?
When I think of how
I´ve tried to get you out of the chaos behind your eyes
Oh I, oh I
[Refrain]
Isolation I just cannot get through
I don´t know what else to do
Isolation, after everything I´ve tried
Could it be it´s time to say goodbye?
Goodbye
Oh it was not so long ago
When I thought I knew your mind
Now your hands are shaking
And your eyes won´t even meet mine
Oh I, oh I
[Refrain]
All night watched you sleeping
´Cause I couldn´t keep my eyes closed
We´ve tried ´cause we had to
Told lies like they were true
But ties they are frayed and won´t hold
Look into my face my eyes are red
And the ashtray´s been up all night, all night
[Refrain]
Oh Isolation I just cannot get through
I don´t know what else to do
Isolation, I´m not the one to kiss and tell
Could it be it´s time to say farewell
It´s alright to let go and take flight
When you know that a sigh takes the place of a shout
Oh why are these windows shut tight?
Are you so scared of night and the voice of this town?
When I think of how
I´ve tried to get you out of the chaos behind your eyes
Oh I, oh I
[Refrain]
Isolation I just cannot get through
I don´t know what else to do
Isolation, after everything I´ve tried
Could it be it´s time to say goodbye?
Goodbye
Oh it was not so long ago
When I thought I knew your mind
Now your hands are shaking
And your eyes won´t even meet mine
Oh I, oh I
[Refrain]
