[verse]

It sounds like you have moved along

You took the love but now it's gone

Yet irony is in the air

Like Hawa’s river flows elsewhere

[verse]

It drifts away with every chance

A mindless dance a fleeting glance

You say the words you claim it’s true

But one small stone can break the view

[pre-chorus]

A hollow phrase to fill the space

The fear I felt now shows its face

[chorus]

Every sting a sharp embrace

Like strings that pull with no escape

A threat that lingers in the air

Bittersweet yet hard to bear

[verse]

I write it down to ease the pain

Your smile lifts me up again

Then your eyes they shine so bright

Send me soaring through the night

[pre-chorus]

I don’t know what I should do

You’re my joy and sorrow too

[chorus]

Every sting a sharp embrace

Like strings that pull with no escape

A threat that lingers in the air

Bittersweet yet hard to bear

[outro]
