The touch of lips the close of eyes
They matter more than you surmise
I hide it all in secret boxes
Until tomorrow when we first meet

I watch you fade before my eyes
I can´t take it, but I won´t look away
Maybe the fires that feel so cold,
They won´t completely die away

I don´t want to, I don´t want you
I don´t want you to forget
I don´t want to, I don´t want you
I don´t want you to forget

I may not let you see my pain
I may not speak hard words in anger
To you maybe it isn´t really strange
You being loved by a stranger

I won´t give you up just yet
I will come calling at your door
Ours is a home we can´t get to anymore

I don´t want to, I don´t want you
I don´t want you to forget
I don´t want to, I don´t want you
I don´t want you to forget

Behind your eyes there is a distance
I ask you if you´d like to dance
You mistake me for a healer
I´m just a desperate man stealing one last chance
