"Throw roses into the abyss and say: 'here is my thanks to the monster that didn't succeed in swallowing me alive'"


First Verse:

(Used to) count the stars,
(To pass the) time when you were there,
(But) now I only wish,
I hadn’t dared.

(Cuz) you told me that,
(All my) dreams would come true,
(But my) only dream,
(Just) happened to be you.

 

(With) broken hearts,
And little scars,
And things you can’t replace,
(Well) they were all,
(The) memories we made.

(And) sometimes I stop,
(And think I’m) doing okay,
(But then) I remember,
That bright-eyed face.

I’m not okay (x4)

Chorus:

Remember the times,
(When our) souls,
Would never die,
(And the sun),
Would always shine,
For you,
My dear?
(But now),
I sit and cry,
(At the) lovers passing by,
(‘Cuz it) hurts,
And it reminds,
(Me)
I’m alone


Oh Charlie Anne,
Where did you go?


(where did you go)

 

Second Verse:

(Now the) summer mornings,
(Fall to) winter nights,
(But) I make sure not to,
Stray from the light,

(You were some) crazy magic,
(Just ask) anyone here,
(But I) didn’t know,
(You could) make yourself disappear.

 

(These) old guitar strings,
(Being) played again,
(They still) sound the same,
(From) all these songs way back when,

(I guess) all the stars,
(Just fell) down from space,
(Cuz) they could never shine,
Without your face,

 

I’m not okay (x4)

Chorus:

Remember the times,
(When our) souls,
Would never die,
(And the sun),
Would always shine,
For you,
My dear?
(But now),
I sit and cry,
(At the) lovers passing by,
(‘Cuz it) hurts,
And it reminds,
(Me)
I’m alone


Oh Charlie Anne,
Where did you go?


(where did you go)

 

Bridge:

(Now the) years are faded,
(Like the) blue jeans I hated,
(‘Cuz you) ripped them apart,
(Just like) you did it to my heart

 

Chorus:

Remember the times,
(When our) souls,
Would never die,
(And the sun),
Would always shine,
For you,
My dear?
(But now),
I sit and cry,
(At the) lovers passing by,
(‘Cuz it) hurts,
And it reminds,
(Me)
I’m alone


Oh Charlie Anne,
Where did you go?


(where did you go)?


Where did you go?

This is one of the first full songs I've written. It's about reminiscing on the good times before this Charlie Anne character left annd how that compares to life now.
