The Misery

Sonata Arctica

write the lines you want me to

with words I dare to use of all

the ones that you have taught me

along the years.



You cast a perfect shadow on the paper,

fade away with sunlight.

Fear the way you know me,

love can leave a stain.



You steal my only hope

and make me stay awake another night.

I wish you bare with me, stay near me

when the atumn leaves have fallen.

Solitude, my pain, the last thing left of me.



If you fall I'll catch.

If you love I'll love

and so it goes, my dear.

Don't be scared you'll be safe,

this I swear if you only love me



Seven lonely lies written on dead winters night.

Open the only book with the only poem I can read.

In blood I sign my name

and seal the midnight with a tear.

Burn the paper, every line, for them I cried.



If you fall I'll catch

If you love I'll love

and so it goes my dear

don't be scared you'll be safe

this I swear if you only love me back.



I am the Playwriter and you are my Crown.

Make me cry for your love,

like you've done many times

so I know I can't write these storylines without you.

Lady Pain, make me strong,

can't we be together without them forever?



The words I write can only hurt me,

sorry for the rain.

Thank you my only one,

you gave me this pain.

I leave you gently on the floor,

take one step towards the door.

Where's that letter never written,

good night now.



If you fall I'll catch

If you love I'll love

and so it goes my dear

don't be scared you'll be safe

this I swear if you only love me.



If you fall I'll catch

If you love I'll love

and so it goes my dear

don't be scared you'll be safe

this I swear if you only love me back.



If you fall I'll catch

If you love I'll love

and so it goes my dear

don't be scared you'll be safe

this I swear if you only love me back...
