Description
Love doesn't burn here - it smolders. Slowly, like a cigarette burning down to the filter, leaving the smell of loss on your fingers. Everything beautiful in it has already happened, and then the aftertaste began - bitter, icy, inevitable. It is not hysteria or supplication, but a weary admission that the pain has become almost familiar.
She is like a faded photograph, where the sun has gone behind the clouds, but no one thought to call it back. When your heart beats not for someone, but simply out of inertia. When you know the password to an old door and still go in - not because you need to, but because you can't help yourself.
It's sad, beautiful, and a little embarrassing that even destruction can sound so gentle.
Lyrics and translation
Original
My only one
My smoking gun
My eclipsed sun
This has broken me down
My twisted knife
My sleepless night
My winless fight
This has frozen my ground
Stood on the cliffside screaming, "Give me a reason"
Your faithless love's the only hoax I believe in
Don't want no other shade of blue but you
No other sadness in the world would do
My best laid plan
Your sleight of hand
My barren land
I am ash from your fire
Stood on the cliffside screaming, "Give me a reason"
Your faithless love's the only hoax I believe in
Don't want no other shade of blue but you
No other sadness in the world would do
You know I left a part of me back in New York
You knew the hero died, so what's the movie for?
You knew it still hurts underneath my scars from when they pulled me apart
You knew the password, so I let you in the door
You knew you won, so what's the point of keeping score?
You knew it still hurts underneath my scars from when they pulled me apart
But what you did was just as dark
(Ah, ah, ah)
Darling, this was just as hard
As when they pulled me apart
My only one
My kingdom come undone
My broken drum
You have beaten my heart
Don't want no other shade of blue but you
No other sadness in the world would do
