Lyrics

I spent
All of my days
In the palm of your hand

I was lost in your eyes
I'm sorry
Did you say something
I didn't hear you
I must be blind

And I can't comprehend the danger
And I can't live inside your anger
I tried to defend my
Simple pretending
I'm asleep

I spent
Half of my life
Believing that
I was dead

All my thoughts
Screams n my head
I'm sorry but
Are you falling
I didn't see you
I must be deaf

And I can't comprehend the danger
And I can't live inside your anger
I tried to defend my
Simple pretending
I'm asleep

Ice melts
Fog is lifting
Did you hear something
I'm not listening

And I can't comprehend the danger
And I can't live inside your anger
I tried to defend my
Simple pretending
I'm asleep
