Lyrics Tarja Turunen

Tarja Turunen

500 Letters

500 letters from a stranger at my door

500 letters, words like scars no one can see

It felt so innocent - a childish game

Lines of poetry without a name

Waves of paranoia washed upon the page

And soon obsession turned to rage

Why do you love me?

Why do you want to hurt me?

500 letters from a stranger at my door

500 weapons - I can't take it anymore

500 letters, words like scars no one can see

500 secrets slowly killing me

At the mercy of a violent hand

Drawing images in my head

I can't escape the way I feel inside

In every shadow just a breath behind

Why do you love me?

Why do you want to hurt me?

500 letters from a stranger at my door

500 weapons - I can't take it anymore

500 letters, words like scars no one can see

500 secrets slowly killing me

They found the final letter

Lying by his side

A smile was on his face

Cold as ice

One last message

Written only for me:

“Now you won’t forget:

I'll see you in your dreams”

500 letters from a stranger at my door

500 weapons - I can't take it anymore

500 letters, words like scars no one can see

500 secrets slowly killing me
