V1.
It's a silent hill when the view is gone
So much time to kill, when the talk is done
Question after question, queuing in my mind
I know, it's not much, but it's keeping me alive
V2.
"Welcome home," she said, "my dearest friend."
"I've missed you so, from start to end."
As she hugs you, deep inside, you're so confused
Does she mean it, or does she hide the truth
Chorus.
This old piano's falling to pieces, made from ash, falling to dust
Play a note, the key crumbles, and the string snaps from rust
Not since you left, has it been played a single note
Sleepless now, I remember every song that I wrote
My heart needs a song for the beating
A dream when I'm sleeping, my restless sleeping
V3.
Crying to sleep, it's so pointless you know
Nothing's achieved, when you cry for tomorrow
Tomorrow when it comes, it's not as great
When you wanted it, yet everywhere else is fake
Chorus.
This old piano's falling to pieces, made from ash, falling to dust
Play a note, the key crumbles, and the string snaps from rust
Not since you left, has it been played a single note
Sleepless now, I remember every song that I wrote
My soul needs a reason to stay here
A life to believe in, to know hope is near
