Lyrics I Am King – Illuminate
Text:
Restless waking nightmares
Bleed into the daylight
Picture perfect storybook endings
Out of sight
I know you know that I know they only exist in fairy tales
I’d sell my soul for just another night
Where the same dream comes alive
And we’re brought back together
We’ll stay here forever for the rest of time
Pins and needles fill my lungs with holes and I am left breathless
Absence makes the heart grow fonder they say
But I don’t buy in
I know you know that I know I’m a mess without you here
I know you know that I know that nothing else compares
I’d sell my soul for just another night
Where the same dream comes alive
And we’re brought back together
We’ll stay here forever for the rest of time
What I’d give to break these walls and let you in
This money’s fed to the wishing well
And I’m broke beyond repair
I’m broke beyond repair
No one else will ever live up to
The beautiful perfection I see in you
Maybe I’m just out of my mind
Or maybe lost in my mind
I think I’m losing my mind
Oh baby I can’t imagine a life without you
Nothing else will ever compare to
So close but so far away
There’s nothing that I can change
Here’s to all the emptiness that I’ve known
A song for all the lonely to sing along
Maybe I was meant to be alone
Maybe we’re better off… alone
We may be alone but we’re never on our own
Love works in mysterious ways
Fate is destined to change
There’s always someone who feels the same
I know you know that I know that you know
That I’m a mess but I just smile and put on a show
I just smile and put on a show
