lyrics

ORPHAN
V.1)
“Funny dress you’re wearing” you said,
As you slipped between the doors of the almost moving F train
On the first day of our love
The smile you had in your eyes, the look that caught me by surprise
Felt like I’ve always known you, like you were always mine.

You used to start a sentence, that I would always end
The way that lovers do, but you also were my closest friend
You knew just when to hold me, and when I need to be alone
And how to show your weakness, and how to be strong…

Ch.)
Like a petal in the wind
Like the thought of giving in
Like the magic we once had
I am orphaned, orphaned
Like a flame that’s losing it’s spark
Like an arrow missing its mark
Like the love we used to share
I am orphaned, orphaned…

V.2)
When time goes by so quickly, and we are not the same
What yesterday meant nothing, could mean the world to us today
You wake up in the morning, and wonder where it all went wrong
And how you didn’t notice till the love you had is gone…


Ch.)
Like a petal in the wind
Like the thought of giving in
Like the magic we once had
I am orphaned, orphaned
Like a flame that’s losing it’s spark
Like an arrow missing its mark
Like the love we used to share
I am orphaned, orphaned…

We are unraveling
We are unraveled.

Ch.)
Like a petal in the wind
Like the thought of giving in
Like the magic we once had
I am orphaned, orphaned
Like a flame that’s losing it’s spark
Like an arrow missing its mark
Like the love we used to share
I am orphaned, orphaned…
