Sonata Arctica
The Misery
[Verse 1]
I write the lines you want me to
With the words I dare to use
Of all the ones that you have taught me
Along the years
You cast a perfect shadow on the paper
Fade away with sunlight
I fear the way you know me
Love can leave a stain
You steal my only hope
And make me stay awake another night
I wish you bear with me, stay near me
When the Autumn leaves have fallen

[Pre-Chorus]
Solitude, my pain, the last thing left of me

[Chorus]
If you fall, I'll catch
If you love, I'll love
And so it goes, my dear
Don't be scared, you'll be safe
This I swear, If you only love me back

[Verse 2]
Seven lonely lies written on Deadwinter´s night
Open the only book with the only poem I can read
In blood I sign my name and seal the midnight with a tear
Burn the paper, every line for them I cried
[Chorus]
If you fall, I'll catch
If you love, I'll love
And so it goes, my dear
Don't be scared, you'll be safe
This I swear, If you only love me back

[Bridge]
I am the Playwrite and you are my Crowd
Make me cry for your love
Like you've done many times
So I know I can´t write these storylines without you
Lady pain, make me strong
Can't we be together without them forever

[Verse 3]
The words I write can only hurt you
Sorry for the rain
Thank you, my only one
You gave me this pain
I leave you gently on the floor
Take one step towards the door
Where's the letter never written
Goodnight now

[Chorus]
If you fall, I'll catch
If you love, I'll love
And so it goes, my dear
Don't be scared, you'll be safe
This I swear, If you only love me back
If you fall, I'll catch
If you love, I'll love
And so it goes, my dear
Don't be scared, you'll be safe
This I swear, If you only love me back

If you fall, I'll catch
If you love, I'll love
And so it goes, my dear
Don't be scared, you'll be safe
This I swear, If you only love me
