Stonebourne - Still Lyrics

He still can hear her laughter when it´s quiet at night
Keeps him awake, but after all it seems to be alright
But still it hurts when he looks in the mirror
Sealed with her lipstick kiss, remains of yesterday
And still he´s burdened with his unopened wallet
Weighed down with her photograph

But as the days are passing by
He´s getting better
And sometimes now he can sleep at night
Tryin' to forget her

In the ashtray he´s burning all these unsent letters
He thought he had to offer up a sacrifice
To the unholy ghost of his raging sadness
That is haunting him day and night
And still he´s scared of each ring of the phone
So he cut the wire to disconnect the pain
In the growing silence he´s listening to his heartbeat
And still it sounds to him insane

But as the days are passing by
He´s getting better
And sometimes now he can sleep at night
Tryin' to forget her
But as the days are passing by
He´s getting better
And sometimes now he tries
But still he cannot understand her

He stays alone at home
Smokes to many cigarettes
Living on daydreams
His head is aching when he´s awake
He closes the curtain
He can´t stand the light
He´s like a wounded lion
And he just needs a secret place to hide

And now he´s painting pictures of how it could have been if
But the colors they fade away to black
And still he believes there must have been something else
That he just cannot detect

He just can't let her go
He just can't let her go
He just can't let her go
