Listen to me, dear I've got something to say Invisible unbearable distance Turns into ignorance I'm back on my lonely way Our bridges marked by decay These are the reasons I despair Deprived of all my hopes Spent and stripped bare Back on old dirty roads Pictures blur before my eyes A scream and I'm awake These are the reasons I despair These echoes from the past Listen to me, dear I've got something to say I wanted to be someone else Hoping you would stay on my way I can feel the pangs of regret From the last time we met These are the reasons I despair Deprived of all my hopes Spent and stripped bare Back on old dirty roads Pictures blur before my eyes A scream and I'm awake These are the reasons I despair These echoes from the past I'm still talking As I am falling I'll never give up Trying to reach you All because I still refuse To try to be free These are the reasons I despair Deprived of all my hopes Spent and stripped bare Back on old dirty roads Pictures blur before my eyes A scream and I'm awake These are the reasons I despair These echoes from the past
