[i had so much to say to you but i couldn't find you then]

lyrics

louise, louise i'm sorry
did i, did i put you
in that hospital bed?
the leaves, the leaves,
they’ve come back to green
but you’re stuck in asylum

but you’re alive

was it congenital, your odd mental state which drove you away?
did you play passenger with your eyes closed while the gas kept pushed?

was it in the way he loathed you?
or how he didn’t say 'i love you’?
was it in the way that he crushed ya?
thought he knew you, you thought he loved you;
i bet you’re sorry

louise, louise i'm sorry
did i, did i put you
in that hospital bed?
the leaves, the leaves,
they’ve come back to green..
still you’re stuck in asylum

louise, louise i'm sorry
did i, did i put you
in that hospital bed?
the leaves, the leaves,
they’ve come back to green..
still you’re stuck in asylum

but you’re alive

------------------

luminous master,
give her just one more shot at life.
such a disaster -
i promise i’ll keep her from the knife.

somehow her ego has turned on her,
turned into demons controlling her mind,
driving her dizzy with vertigo;
somehow the silence devours her slowly .
watching the winter chastising her,
soon icy veins start outlining her insides.
no way to turn off the chemicals
no place to put back the pieces

(no, no…why so sad? romeo, romeo, wherefore art thou? come now and give her soul back. romeo romeo wherefore art thou? why aren’t you helping, oh romeo? why didn't you save her from drowning? oh romeo...
)
