Strangers beneath a roof

As you are facing the wall
standing over the door
I want to call you
but my voice won't come

As your hand rests on the knock,
as I try to find my voice
I want to hold you
but my hands won't move

As your hand opens the door,
as I see you leave my world
I want to run after you
but my legs won't respond

How did we come to this?
How did we become
strangers beneath a roof,
lonebirds without a home?

Nowadays
we fight everyday
but we almost never talk

How scary is your gaze
since your eyes became so cold

As I see you walk away
as your back starts to fade,
I try to call your name
but my lips move in vain

As the sound of your steps
drowns my heart on silent pain
I try to replay your last words
but the silence drives me insane

As I try to call, to cry,
to at least even try
I stand on the doorway
completely immobile

This time it is for sure,
my mind still replays
your hand opening the door,
your back fading away


How did we come to this?
How did we become
strangers beneath a roof,
lonebirds without a home?

Nowadays
we fight everyday
but we almost never talk

How scary is your gaze
since your eyes became so cold


As silence engulfs our home,
as memories start to play
I try to stay strong
but my knees prefer to shake


How did we come to this?
How did we become
strangers beneath a roof,
lonebirds without a home?

Nowadays
we fight everyday
but we almost never talk

How scary is your gaze
since your eyes became so cold

How did it become rutine
fighting everyday like this


How did we come to this?
How did we become
strangers beneath a roof,
lonebirds without a home?

But this time it is the end,
that much I understand
as your footsteps fade
you won't be coming again
