Lyrics
We made ourselves a home out of our dreams
Brought with us this love now bittersweet
And maybe I could say now that I always thought of you
How you've run to walk with me your whole life through
And I know, we go deeper than skin
But what lies within is still deeper than we know
And for all this pantomime, you should see the state I'm in
I couldn't heal myself with time alone
I have you tattooed on my skin
This house is full of stories we both told
These rooms their very stage where they'd unfold
These walls they whisper secrets and memories thereof
But this door no longer leads us to that love
Yeah, I know, we go deeper than skin
But what lies within is still deeper than we know
And for all this pantomime...
All I ever wanted was to hold you
What can I do now to make things new
I ain't trying to write you into a song
Cos you're too sacred and I would feel wrong
But what irony life holds, I was finally ready to meet you halfway
You turned and walked away
And for all this pantomime...
