I would gaze at the pieces stacked so carefully with love
From behind closed shutters that were windows to your heart
I could not find a way to build a door to let me in
It was all because I wouldn´t throw away my selfish pride

There are things that I would rather leaves unsaid
Fear of opening a long forgotten wound
There inside the castle that I built all for myself
It was filled with an emptiness so deep that I could drown

One day suddenly, you appeared
You had everything I had ever dreamed to have
The bricks I stacked towered over you
But you stepped
And you jumped
And you went right o´er

It´s sad how cold that you´ve become
Bet you were lonely all along
Scared to declare
But you gave it a flair
To repair the affair of the works that were really unfair

I would envy the pieces stacked so carefully with love
So meticulously folded one on top of the other
Locked inside a lonely castle that I built all for myself
And the doors I would close to hide away my selfish pride

There are things that I would rather leave unsaid
Fear of losing every precious thing I had
Finally the king appears in his lonesome castle and
Is amazed by his very first beautiful taste of love

Spare me from your sympathy
Because I really doubt you would ever understand
You bite
And you fight
And you grab
And you stab
But you managed to get what you really wanted in the end

I would gaze at the outer world so unified by love
But the one thing I failed to see was the most important thing
And my soul so familiar to the loneliness inside
Glowered at the pool of sun as it collected at my feet

There are things that I would rather leave unsaid
Yes, I know that it´s your way of showing love
Quietly the king retreats into his castle and
The emotions threaten from inside his lonely heart

There are things that I would rather leave unsaid
Hoping for a love that would never fade away
Give only eternity to do what must be done
I would happily devote myself for the sake of those I love

Open the door
And step right in
Won´t you stay a while
And let yourself be loved...

In the warmth hidden deep inside in the shadows of your heart
Lonely walls start to crumble in the castle you have built
And the days you have given up in search of your happiness
Is the one thing that tells you not to give up easily

I would gaze out the passing world and scatter it with love
As the tears fall endlessly I watch you walk away
I´d gladly wait a thousand years if I knew that it would bring
Us together again and we´d live happily ever after...
