Αν ήμουν δυναστικός σε σένα, δεν το διάλεξα



The sky is crying, the streets are full of tears
Rain, come down, wash away my fears
And all this writing on the wall
Oh, I can read between the lines
Rain, come down, forgive this dirty town
Rain, come down and give this dirty town
A drink of water, a drink of wine

If I've been hard on you, I never chose to be
I never wanted no one else
I tried my best to be somebody you'd be close to
Hand in hand, like lovers are supposed to

As you'd sleep, I'd think my heart would break in two
I'd kiss your cheek, I'd stop myself from waking you
But in the dark you'd speak my name
You'd say "baby, what's wrong?"
Oh, here I am, baby, I'm coming back for more
I'm like a wave that's got to roll into the shore
Yes, and if my love's in vain, how come my love is so strong?

Now you and me go parallel, together and apart
And you keep your perfect distance and it's tearing at my heart
Did you never feel the distance?
You never tried to cross no line
'Cause it's another dirty river and another dirty scar
And I don't know who's kissing you and I don't know where you are
So far from home, don't you think of me sometime?

Δεν ήθελα να σπαράσσω την καρδιά σου, μα εσύ σπάρασσες την δική μου



Do you remember chalk hearts melting on a playground wall?
Do you remember dawn escapes from moon-washed college halls?
s Do you remember the cherry blossom in the market square?
Do you remember I thought it was confetti in our hair?
By the way, didn't I break your heart?
Please excuse me, I never meant to break your heart
So sorry, I never meant to break your heart
But you broke mine

Kayleigh, is it too late to say I'm sorry?
And Kayleigh, could we get it together again?
I just can't go on pretending
That it came to a natural end
Kayleigh, oh, I never thought I'd miss you
And Kayleigh, I thought that we'd always be friends
We said our love would last forever
So how did it come to this bitter end?

Do you remember barefoot on the lawn with shooting stars?
Do you remember loving on the floor in Belsize Park?
Do you remember dancing in stilettos in the snow?
Do you remember you never understood I had to go?

Kayleigh, I just wanna say I'm sorry
But Kayleigh, I'm too scared to pick up the phone
To hear you've found another lover
To patch up our broken home
Kayleigh, I'm still trying to write that love song
Kayleigh, it's more important to me now you're gone
Maybe it will prove that we were right
Or ever prove that I was wrong
