a person like me Songtext / Lyric

I ran into happiness and the outcome lay before me. I left in joy and returned in sorrow.
You`ve cast me aside, you dominated.
I`m suffering under the pressure you`ve put on me.The remaining thoughts of you, which still don`t let me sleep.The poetic verses you once wrote to me, or I wrote to you,which haven`t got a clue why they were written.

When desire turns to obsession,
I`m out of control. I can`t do anything at all.
I can say I left in the light and came back in the dark.Yet it`s too late, you can`t turn back the clock.

I tried to change, but the motivation waned. I failed.My ideas continue to live, although I couldn`t fulfil my dream.I live in a dream that can`t be fulfilled by a person like me. Life is harder to understand than I`d thought.Each day brings a new piece of reality and , in time, destroys all my wonderful dreams.

When desire turns to obsession,
I`m out of control. I can`t do anything at all.
I can say I left in the light and came back in the dark.Yet it`s too late, you can`t turn back the clock.

What counts in life is the coming and going of the tide,Everything else is just the trimmings.
Trimmings which embellish reality. I`m dreaming of things which make life worth living;
I live in a dream that can`t be fulfilled by a person like me.The remaining thoughts of you, which still don`t let me sleep.
One day, some day, I`ll get over it.
One day, some day, I`ll finally go to sleep
free of any remaining thoughts of you.
