Tristiania – Clockwork Midnight lyrics

The last day I had with you
I yelled right to your face
I screamed and sobbed and stomped my foot
And called you a disgrace

It's not fair to give me freedom
Something I want the most
And then to take it away
Like it was some stupid little game we're playing

You say one thing
And then expect me to do another
Say something is bad
And then ask me to do it

Oh, how wrong was I
Oh, how wrong was I
I shouldn't have chosen to lose you
Oh, how wrong was I

The day they stormed in our oasis and took you away
I thought that my life was ruined and that it'd stay that way
That nothing would ever make sense again, that I'd never get the chance to say
I'm sorry, please give me the chance to start again

The next day, I came back to the spot where I had lost you
The missing posters were everywhere and they had your face
On all of them, that face that I had grown to love and then throw away
Like it was something to be discarded some day

The police, they asked me everything
I had nothing to say
They mentioned Clockwork Midnight and then I knew, I knew the way
Back to you was full of danger, but I owe it to you
I never should have treated you as just something to use

Oh, how wrong was I
Oh, how wrong was I
I shouldn't have chosen to lose you
Oh, how wrong was I

The day they stormed in our oasis and took you away
I thought that my life was ruined and that it'd stay that way
That nothing would ever make sense again, that I'd never get the chance to say
I'm sorry, please give me the chance to start again

I'd do anything to redo that day
To give myself the chance to ask you to sit down and explain
Why you did that to me instead of me getting upset
And staining everything we had with shades of regret

Those endless hours curled up beside you
In the only place I ever felt safe
I just want those days back
So I can relive them all over again
Is it really true that I'll never get to see those eyes so blue
Again?

The day they stormed in our oasis and took you away
I thought that my life was ruined and that it'd stay that way
That nothing would ever make sense again, that I'd never get the chance to say
I'm sorry, please give me the chance to start again
