Short Stories With Tragic Endings Songtext
von From Autumn to Ashes

Here you stand
Seething with guilt
Silence only justifies
This act of cowardice
The look stapled on your face
Cries out for forgiveness
The one thing that I cannot give

Did you ever see that one person
And the way they do these things
And it hurts you so much it′s like
Choking
Choking
CHOKING


I can give you freedom
From your guilt
With a flick of my wrist
Unto yours
I can give you peace of mind
With a forced smile
I can give you death
With the look upon my face

This is your freedom
In a life of fallacy
With no last kiss
And no regrets
You don't deserve goodbye
This is your freedom
In a life of fallacy
With no last kiss
And no goodbye

Here you stand
Seething with guilt
Silence only justifies
This act of cowardice
With a short story, the one you add to daily, you are the tragic loss
No story book ending for this fairytale of you
Just the one composed with blood taken from
Your pen that you hold in your lifeless hand


Cry for you
Shed tears, mourn
Wish the end

Cry for you
Shed tears, mourn
Wish the end

Mourn, wish the end
Mourn, wish the end
Mourn, wish the end

Did you ever look
Did you ever see that one person
And the subtle way that they do these things and it hurts so much?
So much like choking down the embers of a great
Blaze
It′s that moment when your eyes seem to spread aspersions
And to scream confessions at the insipid sky parting clouds
You let this one person come down
For the most perfect moment
And it breaks my heart
To know
The only
Reason
You are here now is
A reminder
Of what I'll never have
I'll never have
I′ll never...
Standing so close knowing that it kills me to breathe you in
Standing so close knowing that it kills me to breathe you in
But this table for one has become
Bearable
I now take comfort in this
And for this
I cherish you
Did you ever look
Did you ever see that one person
And the subtle way that they do these things and it hurts so much?
So much it′s like choking down the embers of a great blaze
It's that moment when your eyes seem to spread aspersions
And to scream confessions at the insipid sky parting clouds
And you let this one person
Come down
Come down
I cherish you
I cherish you
Just say that you would do the same for me
Just say you
Would do
The same
For me
Just say you
Would do
The same
Just say you
Would do
The same
For me
For as much as I love autumn
I′m giving myself
To ashes
