Cold (Intro) 03:35
Sometime when two stars collide She hides behind those eyes Because she promised herself never to lie Just to rely on one another's smile Sometimes I feel I can't decide Whether to save her, awake her or erase her I wonder if she knows that we are one I wonder if you know that we are one Oh please let her go She won't be all yours She is cursed with an ice cold heart Believe me, we are one From time to time she cares too much about each soul she sees From time to time she can't let go of the past and people she fears She is so borderline I am so borderline Oh please let me go I won't be all yours I'm cursed with an ice cold heart Believe me, I'm no good

Trust Me 04:22
Last night while gazing into your eyes I made the mistake of my life Of my life I let you slip your fingers through my hair I let you take off my shell, oh why? Oh why? How can I love you if I don't even know your name? Look at me, I'm nothing like her My doubts conquer my brain so much that I close down And all you see is my smile And that I'm fine At these moments I'm used to people go but your fingers are still in my hair Look at me and say the magic words: I will make a little time for you if you let your scars heal If I cannot read what's on your mind, you're gonna have to let me in And Trust Me.

Prague 03:41
Yesterday I came across the box you gave me back in Prague Little box you gave me when you said your heart was mine It took me hours right before I finally got to open it I did not intend to break my own heart I'll break your heart. What was waiting inside: a bracelet or a ring? The last thing I expected was your lovely words of ink: I gave myself to you my love, join me in the wind Let me take your soul and my heart is what you win Here, you take your box with you I don't need you anymore.
4.
Thunder, lightning, bruised knees and lies: these are the signs of a love long gone In all these years we thought it's for the best, it's for our lives to be the one But none of what we truly are What we truly want to be An autumn, a winter, a spring it took for us to realize: we idolize a non existing home and love In all these dreams we lied and died for all we got to be the one But none of what we truly are What we truly want to be Farewell goodbye my love, I gave you all I got tonight Farewell goodbye my love, I give you right to leave me now Thunder, lightning, bruised knees and lies
5.
When the world turns upside down, you keep holding on to the ground When fire eats up your hometown, you drink up the waters, you drown How long before you break down under the weight of your life? How long before you kneel down in front of all the people you love? If I ever crossed your path, would you let me be your saviour? If I ever opened my heart, would you let me into yours? How long before we see the beauty hidden deep in each other’s eyes? How long before we reach the glorious times when we’re both ready for love? I’ll be yours if you’ll be mine
6.
The End 03:26
If we were born to carry the weight of the sins ever left by humankind Then why is the sky so blue and the grass is so green and the moon so bright? Tonight I fear no divine Tonight I end my own life One step ahead: I've already written my words farewell goodbye Oh don't worry love, I won't leave traces behind 'cause tonight I fear no divine Tonight I end my own life Come little closer, the western wind will whisper in your ear Who did this to me: Society.
7.
Harmed souls lying on the floor I can't say I don't know them anymore One of them reminds me a tiny bit of you Even though they're nothing else but two pieces of soul Traces of you It's you, it's me Traces of you
