She’s locked up with a spinning wheel
She can’t recall what it was like to feel
She says “This room’s gonna be my grave
And there’s no one who can save me”
She sits down to her colored thread
She knows lovers waking up in their beds
She says “How long can I live this way
Is there someone I can pay to let me go
‘Cause I’m half sick of shadows
I want to see the sky
Everyone else can watch as the sun goes down
So why can’t I
Chorus:
And it’s raining
And the stars are falling from the sky
And the wind
And the wind I know it’s cold
I’ve been waiting
For the dag I will surely die
And it’s here
And it’s here for I’ve been told
That I’ll die before I’m old
And the wind I know it’s cold”
She looks up to the mirrored glass
She sees a handsome horse and rider pass
She says “That man’s gonna be my death
‘Cause he’s all I ever wanted in my life
And I know he doesn’t know my name
And that all the girls are all the same to him
But still I’ve got to get out of this place
‘Cause I don’t think I can face another night
Where I’m half sick of shadows
And I can’t see the sky
Everyone else can watch as the tide comes in
So why can’t I
Chorus
But there’s willow trees
And little breezes, waves, and walls, and flowers
And there’s moonlight every single night
As I’m locked in these towers
So I’ll meet my death
But with my last breath I’ll sing to him I love
And he’ll see my face in another place”
And with that the glass above her
Cracked into a million bits
And she cried out “So the story fits
But then I could have guessed it all along
‘Cause now some drama queen is gonna write a song for me”
She went down to her little boat
And she broke the chains and began to float away
And as the blood froze in her veins she said
“Well then that explains a thing of two
‘Cause I know I’m the cursed one
I know I’m meant to die
Everyone else can watch as their dreams untie
So why can’t I

Chorus
Should u choose to accept it
Well, I hope that u do
This is your story
Should u choose to remember
Well, I hope that it’s true
I’ve finally a reason
To let it die, let it die
You’ve gegeven me a reason
To let it die
Let it die
Like all the words irrelevant and clean
Like all the girls before me, have u seen
Somebody walking back from Hell on their own
Well, I hope that u do
Why are we talking
As if u didn’t know
Well, they know about you
I’ve finally a reason
To let it die, let it die
You’ve gegeven me a reason
To let it die
Let it die
Like all the words irrelevant and strange
Like some ancient Prokofieff arrangement
This is your mission
Should u choose to accept it
Well, I hope that u do
This is your army
And they’re all right behind you
Yes, they’re all right with you
Let it die
Let it die
Let it die
Don’t need no crystal ball to tell me so
Whispering in the air
Hoping that my words find u somewhere
Even when I close my eyes
I’ll never recreate the time that flies
The consequence is hanging there
The sky will fall but I don’t care
Chorus:
Meet me beneath my balcony and say
No one but u could ever fill my night
Be the sunlight in my every day
Underneath my balcony I’ll say
No one but u could ever fill my night
Be the sunlight in my every day
Your love is haunting me
And all I want is meer to set me free
Whispering in the air
Hoping that my words find u somewhere
Do u hear me call your name
I know we will never be the same
The consequence is hanging there
The sky will fall but I don’t care
Chorus
And if u can’t give it to me
I will cut u down
And I will run u through
With the dagger u sharpened
On my body and soul
Before u slit me in two
And then devoured me whole
I want my innocence back
I want my innocence back
I want my innocence back
I want my innocence back
And if u can’t pacify me
I will break your bones
u think I’m bluffing, just try me
I will never forget
The words u used to ensnare me
Till my dying day
You’ll suffer for this, I swear (I swear)
I want my innocence back
I want my innocence back
I want my innocence back
And I demand
u put my hart-, hart back in my hand
And wipe it clean
From the mess u made of me
And I require
u make me free from this desire
And when u leave, I’d better be the innocent
I used to be
I want my innocence back
I want my innocence back
I want my innocence back
