Avantasia - Blowing Out The Flame lyrics

I sold my soul for diamonds And reason for acclaim Been begging for white angels To blow my mind away Been growing funny flowers Where roses never grew I stayed awake all night When I woke up from dreams Of me and you I tried to take the sun and I went blind God help me to erase you from my mind I'm growing cold And the night is yet to come Anyone tell me is this The way it's meant to be Lost and isolated I'm way too complicated For you to lean on me I play a losing game I cried in desperation Mental devastation I'm blowing out the flame Self-pity gave me shelter I always hid away in vice Dyslexic, torn and tattered I tried to read the signs You never tried to take a look At the one I'd have died to be Now it seems you don't see me at all Was it all worth it Visions holding sway When the real thing got lost along the way Yes anyone tell me is this The way it's meant to be I'm lost and isolated Way too complicated For you to lean on me I play a losing game I cried in desperation Mental devastation I'm blowing out the flame Yes anyone tell me is this The way it's meant to be Lost and isolated I'm way too complicated For you to lean on me I play a losing game I cried in desperation Mental devastation I'm blowing out the flame
