[Verse 1]
E
The flowers of the new and laughter of the past
F# G#m F#
They're beautiful like you, beauty unsurpassed
E
Gone with a whisper, you fall asleep like death
F# B
Breaking through the earth, your smile shines again
[Instrumental]
F# E F# D#m G#m F# E F# D#m G#m F#
[Verse 2]
E
My empty gratitude, another empty thank you
F# G# F#
I finally learnt regret from words I've always said
E
Never meant to speak to hurt, yet it hurt to put in words
F# G#m F#
Goodbye wherever you are, goodbye unbroken heart
[Pre-Chorus]
C#m B
In truth I want to feel, the truth I want to see
F#
I'm trying to embrace your drifting heart and smile
[Chorus]
E F#
Whenever I begin to feel the burning tears overflowing from my eyes
D#m G#m
I keep on looking forward at you, hoping that your light will never pass me by
E F#
I wonder what the stars that sparkle in your eyes are hiding from my mind
G#m F#
Hiding from my open heart and from your open heart
E F#
Together, you and I will always be alive, connected, close to you I'll stay
D#m G#m F#
As long as I can hold your hand again and again, forever, I will find my way
E F#
You may never answer back my call, but you smile back at me with grace
G#m F#
And everything remains the same, this pain I'll soon awake from
E F#
What I see will melt all away
B
With my tears
[Verse 3]
E
A shape of broken line will never be the same
F# G#m F#
It'll never find new life as a body of remains
Emaj7 E
A soul without a form, endlessly it'll chase
F# B Bm B
But will my broken heart find another place?
[Pre-Chorus]
C#m D#m7
In truth I want to feel, the truth I'll never see
E F#
I'm trying to erase how far we've walked in miles
[Chorus]
E F#
Whenever I begin to feel the burning tears as I look up at the sky
D#m G#m
I keep on looking forward at it hoping that I'll find you soon enough in time
E F#
I wonder if the stars that sparkle in my eyes will eventually subside
G#m
Hiding from my endless heartbeat, from my endless heartbeat
E F#
Together, you and I will always be alive, committed, close to you I'll stay
D#m G#m
As long as I can hold your hand again and again, then maybe I will find a way
E F#
I can never travel back in time, but they smile back at me, those days
G#m F#
And everything remains the same, this pain I'll soon awake from
E F#
What I see will melt all away
B
With my tears
[Bridge]
E
Replaying time again, replaying time again
G#m F#
Repeating time again, repeating time again
E
Reflected in my heart, reflected in my heart
F#
Your never ending laughter
N.C.
Spoken: Papyrus...
E once
Whenever I begin to feel the burning tears...

And I see I've barely reached you
C
And your heart
