Lyrics

[Verse 1]
We suffer everyday
What is it for?
These crimes of illusion
Are fooling us all
And now I am weary
And I feel like I do
[Verse 2]
It's only you
Who can tell me apart
And it's only you
Who can turn my wooden heart
[Verse 3]
The size of our fight
It's just a dream
We've crunched everything
I can't see in this morning
Selfishly
How we fell
And I feel like I do
[Verse 4]
It's only you
Who can tell me apart
And it's only you
Who can turn my wooden heart
[Verse 5]
Now that we've chosen to take all we can
The shade of autumn will stare bitter end
Years of frustration laid down side by side
[Verse 6]
And it's only you
Who can tell me apart
And it's only you
Who can turn my wooden heart
[Verse 7]
It's only you
Who can tell me apart
And it's only you
Who can turn my wooden heart
