I flew those airplanes and I crashed those wheels

Like a vagabond in the search for something precious, something real

Look what I found now, the same old fish in my creel

The scars on my heart are getting so damn clear

My occasional tears are so foolish but so sincere

It makes me wonder, is it you yearning here? 

You and I have never made it to the time borders 

I spent my life in classrooms and you spent yours by the water

Though the only dream we ever had was to be footballers

You never mind weeping, you never mind to bleed

The dreamy Romeo and the delicate branch from this family’s tree

You jail the hearts so fast but you break so easily 

I’m just your replica

I’m just your replica

You’re the real diamond,

Now I seem to know myself when your light depart 

All this time you’re the original God’s master piece of art

I have the money and the deeds but I don’t have your heart

You’re the real diamond,

And all your virtues that I refused to borrow

Are the essences of my long journey to form my own duo

It’s the same old-fashioned song but on a new piano

I’m just your replica

I’m just your replica

Well, it’s been 4 years and a half

Since you’ve captured my heart

I should’ve told you from the start

But I didn’t have the guts

And I spent all this time swinging those strings

And learning those things

I thought it would make me a king

Now, my heart skips 7 beats and a half

When you’ve said you’re leaving

How I hoped you’ve been deceiving me,

Ohh SugarBee

My world is going astray

I’m crawling right behind you, wondering what to say

But you’re already miles away

But I made you sing

I made you fly without wings

This can’t be the end

I’m getting over you

Though I know it’s true

There’ll never be another you

Ohh SugarBee

My tiny dancer, SugarBee

You nearly killed me, SugarBee

Urging to roam, urging to fly back home

Here on the snow-covered domes

A new soul, an aging face

An aware heart in the wrong place

I left my dreams on a sailing ship

To be carried on by my unborn daughter

Will I ever be loved?

Will I ever be thought of like my mother thought of my father?

I’ve got pictures I managed to paint

And I’ve got songs I left undone

Should I follow the light of my own little candle?

Or the sun of everyone?

I wonder …

I wonder …

She wears a green summer dress with cherubs around her

She stumbles in and out of this train

I came to welcome her back home

But apparently she forgot my name

Her careless look keeps rolling this pain

It sent me to heaven and hell again

She said she’s just a new heartbreak in this chain

And it’s all over

She spent years and years roaming these towns

And I spent them looking for her eyes

I kept on believing she’ll be back

But like a homeless sparrow, she flies and flies and now

She’s my favorite sad song at the break of the dawn

She’s my meaning of failure in the eyes of everyone

She’s my sweetest fairytale I never owned

And it’s all over

She got her red hair shining and a ticket in her hand

A couple of bodyguard and a handsome man

She’s got my tears, my songs and my plans

And it’s all over

I was never hers, she was never mine

And it’s all over

I remember my mewl

In our home’s balcony

On my first day in school

When you ran to me

There, when I first felt loved

And I remember your white hand

In the dark so sunny

It took me to my dreamland

Where Tom Sawyer is waiting for me

Again, your love forced my pain to fall to sleep

I remember the muse

You’ve lost within me

And the songs of Fairoz

You chanted constantly

There, when I first wanted to sing

And I remember my silly blues

When a girl gets hold of me

So emotionally abused

In my red room, solitary

Again, your love falls like rain and runs so deep

Was I worth the seeds of love you’ve thrown in me?
