We're born to then turn to dust
With millions of problems to solve
But in winter the days are way too short
I'm good, I don't think about it when I'm with you
I'd like to be able to shed this skin
I'd like these people to notice
That I'm not as strong as you think
And it'll hurt to realize we don't think about it anymore
Mom used to say love is like smoke
It makes you feel good but one day it'll kill you
Even someone with a heart of stone looks for somebody
Who'll become a diamond the day they find them
I swear I kinda die when I smell your scent
If I had to look for you I'd burn this town down
I promised we'd shine through tears in the dark
Just give me a moment and you'll see what happens
I can't stop 'cause I've got a dream
I wanna make it real and I'll do it proudly
We're born to then turn to dust
With millions of problems to solve
But in winter the days are way too short
I'm good, I don't think about it when I'm with you
I'd like to be able to shed this skin
I'd like these people to notice
That I'm not as strong as you think
And it'll hurt to realize we don't think about it anymore
We were lovers who wanted more
Now we're old friends who don't see each other anymore
But sometimes I still think about it and maybe you do too
A story like this marks you like tattoos
I found true love then I lost it again
And since I'm alone I look like a man's shadow
Now that maybe too many people crowd around me
You can leave me alone if you wanna do me a favor
I can't give you a future
Make your wishes come true
But I really loved you and it's a shame it's over
Thanks for all the pain, you changed my life
I can't stop 'cause I've got a dream
I wanna make it real and I'll do it proudly
We're born to then turn to dust
With millions of problems to solve
But in winter the days are way too short
I'm good, I don't think about it when I'm with you
I'd like to be able to shed this skin
I'd like these people to notice
That I'm not as strong as you think
And it'll hurt to realize we don't think about it anymore
I can't stop 'cause I've got a dream
I wanna make it real and I'll do it proudly
