way to keep pain away
is not to get
into all the things
soreness will make us
weak inside
she does not know the way
and his last day
will never come back

promised time has come
he never came to her
looking at her watch again
looking at her watch again
all the snow has changed to rain
while she stood
looking at her watch again
looking at her watch again
no way out
there's no way out
no way out of tragic story
no way out (no way out)
there's no way out (no way out)
standing all alone
she is waiting for
way to keep pain away
is not to get
into all the things
soreness will make us
weak inside
happiness gain the weight
it's hard to get back
to normal things
unless you make tracks
when you're blind
she does not know the way
and his last day
will never come back

no way out
there's no way out
no way out of tragic story
