The Stare
Istra Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

So we've come
To the end of our line
And I know you're thinking of me
You're staring as you cry
And the staring leaves me wanting

All I have left is what's in my mind
Of the the day we said goodbye

Though we never said goodbye
And I'll find myself dreaming of the day
I'll see you're smile again
And we'll leave this broken glass behind

'Cause I woke to find
Life was not a nightmare in my sleep
And the stare will come over me
And the stare will come over me

No one's there to tell me

Everything will be alright
No one's threre

Through the dark lonely night
All I have left is what's in my heart

Though it feels like it's all in the past
I'll believe we'll meet again above

So we've come
We have reached the end of our journey

To the end of our line
We have reached the conclusion of our relationship

And I know you're thinking of me
I am aware that you are remembering me

You're staring as you cry
You are gazing while tears roll down your face

And the staring leaves me wanting
Your gaze causes me to crave for more

I often fantasize about the day

I'll see your smile again
I will witness your beaming face again

And we'll leave this broken glass behind
We will abandon our shattered memories
