Note: bold denotes accents. Sing this slightly louder, often with a pause. If you study the song you will notice nearly every 2nd syllable, often every even syllable, in each phrase is accented. Also, if you notice extra commas I put them in difficult phrases to help you pause.
Oh say to me, please say to me now
the truth you think you know.
What hides inside of me
I fear will never show.
I’m breaking down, a broken heart in
a dark and starless world.
You smile as dreamers do
while blind to what you see.
So broken now
but still me somehow
no time for my next breath.
Won’t fall apart,
I, won’t fall apart so,
truth itself will just, freeze.
Was breakable, can’t break me now,
delusional, see clearly now,
the day that I fin’lly found you….
Our cold shattered world I
am lost within its chaos,
disappearing, slipping away.
Just leave me unseen,
the truth I dare not show,
please don’t look at me.
Someone unknown
within our world they’ve reimagined.
Beyond its pain
let me not draw, the dark to your light.
I’m begging you please, always remember me,
as vivid as I once was…
Endlessly, into the night
our loneliness, shall intertwine.
Your joy remains, innocent,
these memories, they pierce me –
can’t walk away, can’t walk away, can’t walk away, can’t walk away, can’t walk away, can’t walk away, oh
unraveling the world.
It changed me, without my, will I find, my way back,
our fates now, align as one, our hearts collapse, in silent dark,
was breakable, can’t break me now,
delusional, see clearly now,
I won’t corrupt the light inside you.
Our cold shattered world I
am lost within its chaos,
disappearing, slipping away.
Just leave me unseen,
the truth I dare not show,
please don’t look at me.
Someone unknown
has trapped us, in shadows, out of sight.
The future, unraveling, slips away from me.
I’m begging you please, somehow remember me
as vivid as I once was…
Please don’t forget me, please don’t forget me,
please don’t forget me, please don’t forget me.
This change in, me now has, left me so paralyzed,
the pieces, that can’t decay, belong to paradise.
I’m begging you please, always remember me.
Oh say to me,
please say to me,
what in my heart is true,
I fear I’ll never know.
