[Verse 1]
Trust me, I really want to live
Without constant fear
That you will want something from me
But always when I try really hard
I give up
Good memories don't want to die

[Chorus]
The rope is getting tighter
And the pain's coming along
So why do I suppress the bad things
As if nothing was wrong?

[Verse 2]
I no longer want
To pretend, to distort reality
But always when I try really hard
Good memories still don't want to die

[Chorus]
The rope is getting tighter
And the pain's coming along
So why do I suppress the bad things
As if nothing was wrong?
And I don't even think this way
I deserve something better
I guess some part of my dream
Still goes on while I'm awake

[Bridge]
Oh no, don't go too far
It's so dark out there, my love
You might get lost
Come, I'll tuck you in
I will cuddle you to sleep now
I am screaming silently again
All good memories
Guardians of morality

[Chorus]
The rope is getting tighter
And the pain's coming along
So why do I suppress the bad things
As if nothing was wrong?
And I don't even think this way
I deserve something better
I guess some part of my dream
Still goes on while I'm awake
Please wake me up

[Outro]
Ah-ah, ah-ah
