These hollow bones
Before you bare
In the secret sins
I'd never shared
Felt myself slipping away
Into someone who could understand
And be my only friend
As time passes me by
You leave me mesmerized
Both of damaged soul
And of lifeless heart
Oh, how you have shown
Of the place to start
Felt myself stripping away
From what I've held to for so long
I've just begun to fail
As time passes me by
You leave me mesmerized
Mesmerized!
Mesmerized
Mesmerized!
Mesmerized
Mesmerized!
Mesmerized
Mesmerized!
(Mesmerized)
As time passes me by
You leave me mesmerized
You leave me mesmerized!
Mesmerized
You leave me mesmerized!
Mesmerized
Words will always fail
So have I and I tried making any sort of difference
Fighting to accept and in the end I plead
To see you walk away and you do and
So have I and it can never be repaired
Only a shallow space where once a heart existed
To feel so much yet so little
To define my last regrets is this
Final wish that can never be forgiven
Never - not by anyone
Never by myself
And most of all is the kind of peace that I
Can never hope to see the light of any better day
Again and again I have fallen down beneath the seams a final time
The only obstacle that exists is you - this fate
A paradox it seems - to punish me the most is
The one that has shown the most concern and love
Never mind the definition of that word
I thought I once could understand
But I realize now I haven't got a clue
