Lyrics Astrid van der Veen

Astrid van der Veen

Reminder

the expectations for a true smile

must be left alone

whether it's going up or going down

must be proved by showing

not a remedy

no more shall it be

a heart that's lacking its purpose

you can never love

and a heart that is not reliable

you can never trust

not a flee

no more shall it be

are you alive

are you alive

tell me how it feels cause I want to know

can you bear the light

can you bear the light

tell me how you've missed the undertow

blindly repeating the weaknesses

though I believe its strength

I would blame it all on emptiness

oh tell me how can you break a broken heart

are you alive

are you alive

tell me is life the remedy

but how can you depend

how can you depend

on anything else but the end

life is only the reminder of the place that I call home

your brain is only the reminder of the things that I have known

like the mirror only shows me what became of me

everything became a reminder of what used to be
