In Vain (neuer Songtext!)

...and now you and I both burn.

This seems to me what they call the end, what they call the end of an enmity
I'm not even sure that I really want this but I'm constrained to your melting skin
Considering our mutual past this situation seems ironic beyond words to me
I still remember... the times... we lay together... side by side...
We swore to prevent those useless goodbyes, we swore to stand together as one.

I was the fire, and I was the passion.
I was everything that kept you alive at times.
I was the heart inside your chest.
Reminding you that you were still by my side.

That you were still breathing, together with me.

And now take a look at us, what have we become?
Apart for no reason, and still stitched together
What is this, where is the sense?
Do you remember when we called each other friend?

As the flames start to consume you, this is the end of our enmity
I try my best to blind out your shouts of pain and restore the shining moments we shared
What we had was more than remarkable, it was the best time of all my life
Do we really... have to part... in rivalry and ignorance, in hatred and strife?
We swore to turn our back at the world outside, we swore to be forever at all.

I was the fire, and I was the passion.
I was everything that kept you alive at times.
I was the heart inside your chest.
Reminding you that you were still my best friend.

I have forgiven and I have forgotten, all I want is to escape from this hell together...
...with you, 'cause you are my shelter, my home, you are what makes me myself
Why has it always to be too late for me to see what you mean to me?
Why can't I just turn around and tell you that it is fine, that I still love you?
We swore to be the unknown entity, we swore to always stay the same, we swore to remain.

Collapse me and collapse my fucking pride
I am blessed to at least die side by side with you.

Because...
You were my fire, and you were my passion.
You were everything that kept me alive at all.
You were the heart inside my chest.
Reminding me that I still exist.

You were my love, and you were my passion.
You were everything that kept me alive at all.
You were my heart, and you were my soul.
Reminding me that we'll be fine after all.

I write these lines, I truly think of you; of you and me and all the things that we've been through
My heart is filled with peacefulness, it's bursting and yearning just for you.
If only I could efface this flames and save you , because in the end all that matters for me is you.
I think of your smile and of your wonderful eyes and with my last breath I finally realize
That you were my one, that you were my only, that you were my first, my last and my only... love.

You were my fire, and you were my passion.
You were everything that kept me alive at all.
You were the heart inside my chest.
Reminding me that I was always your best friend.

You were my fire, you were my passion.
You were my heart, you were my obsession.
You were my princess, my lioness.
You were my first, my last, my only...
...you were my best.
