[Intro] [Piano and acoustic guitar] I have gone blind beneath this cruel dark rain, While wicked fate keeps clawing at my veins, No shining suns remain, no peaceful skies, Without your touch, my fragile spirit dies. Yet you still hide beyond my shattered dreams, Among the ruins bursting at the seams, You stay so close, your memory cuts deep, My soul still hates you while my heart still bleeds. [Chorus] Your name comes back again Like a dagger through my veins Your name comes back again And leaves me drowning in the rain It always drags me down To echoes of the past And in that fading world Nothing in me has changed at last [Guitar only] Perhaps the promises and broken lies Have left their weight beneath these hollow nights, A faded rose once buried by the flame Still blooms inside the ashes of your name. And though your years still leave my spirit torn, I keep alive what sorrow left unborn, With this unbearable and endless pain And all your strange “I love yous” in my veins. [Guitar only] [Chorus] Your name comes back again Like a dagger through my veins Your name comes back again And leaves me drowning in the rain It always drags me down To echoes of the past And in that fading world Nothing in me has changed at last Your name comes back again Still tearing through my soul Your name comes back again Leaving scars I can’t control And when you look at me I slowly turn away Cause deep inside my heart Nothing in me has changed today.
