[Verse 1]
In a world of hope and promises
I had a dream of love and blissful happiness
I imagined myself with the perfect life
Where all that matters to me could be mine

[Pre-Chorus]
But somehow it passed me by
And left me stranded here
I’m running out of time
Too late for me, I fear

[Chorus]
If wishing alone could turn out the light
I’d have drifted away to the welcoming night
If I could escape just by closing my eyes
I’d already be safe under different skies

[Verse 2]
Thought I’d found my fairy tale
A bed of roses, how could we fail?
With everything we needed to be free
No storm ahead that we could foresee

[Pre-Chorus]
Still somehow it slipped away
A cruel mirage, it seems
To lure me through my days
Yet still appeals to me
[Chorus]
If wishing alone could turn out the light
I’d have drifted away to the welcoming night
If I could escape just by closing my eyes
I’d already be safe under different skies

[Bridge]
You've got me on my knees
Do you want me to say "please"?
I can't go on

[Chorus]
If wishing alone could turn out the light
I’d have drifted away to the welcoming night
If I could escape just by closing my eyes
I’d already be safe under different skies
