The smile of melancholia
You wore within your eyes
Found… a hidden way… into my heart
And before I saw the danger
Of being so unwise
I told you… that I loved you… at the start
I told you that my love was true
And that I want to be with you
I asked that we should never be apart
I wondered: could you love me too
And then I left it up to you
And that… is how I went and… broke my heart
Cause, I never made you mine
I gave you space, and I gave you time
But now I’m payin’ for my crime
I never made you mine
I never see my chances coming
& at the time they go so fast
& yet I never think that it's the last
I would have done most anything
To get you to remain
But so choked I couldn't even say your name
And today is now tomorrow
But tomorrow is too late
‘Cause yesterday has gone and sealed my fate
That time was dead and buried
I should have banished every trace
But there has always been
One thing I can't erase
For when I saw your face today
I couldn’t turn and look away
Although I know that I’m not where you are
I’m half a world away from you
Yet still tonight will burn deep blue
Cause now, for far too long, we've been apart
And I never made you mine
I gave you space, and I gave you time
But now I’m payin’ for my crime
I never made you mine
I sometimes speak into a mirror
“ I’ll be alright: I’ll be okay.”
But when peace eludes my night it breaks my day
So I’m lookin’ for an answer
‘Cause I live with one big doubt -
– How can anybody know what love's about?
And I’ve asked myself ten thousand times
How come I never made you mine
How did those darklight eyes get in my heart
And still I think… just now and then
You think about what could have been
& I never know when midnight's mood might start
Cause, I never made you mine
I gave you space, and I gave you time
But now I’m payin’ for my crime
I never made you mine
I told you that I loved you from the start
And that is how I went and broke my heart
And now for far too long we've been apart
You never know when midnight’s mood
might crush your heart
You’d think a love you never had
Would be the easiest to forget
& this loves about as wrong as I can get
But I'm not blaming me or you
I'm quite beyond what's false or true
I only hope I might fall out of love with you
The smile of melancholia
You wore within your eyes
Found… a hidden way… into my heart
I saw how deep your sorrow lies
How could I have been so unwise
And ever still… this love-light… never dies
