Written around 1998 or 1999 in Constance, with a slight Irish tune in the intro and chorus.
If you talk of your past
will you talk of the worst
That the gods didn’t hear
your wishes and hopes through the wind
If you watch someone else
do you see her at her best
If you had the chance
would you offer your fate for exchange
If one day we'll meet up again
after many years have passed
Will you tell me the same sad story
about what didn’t last
Will you look me straight in the eyes
Then on the shards of our sins
We can sit down and think ´bout
what our love could have been
Did you watch your love die
that once kept you alive
Did you break up with what you
held on to for so many years
Did you miss my advice
my cover to hide
Did you long for my shoulder
the sweet words blown in the wind
If one day we'll meet up again
just like strangers by chance
with everyone’s story being carved
in our faces like scars
Will you look me deep in the eyes
Then on the shards of our sins
we can sit down and think
´bout what our love could have been
I remember the two souls
who wanted relief
I remember how they broke
what they swore like a creed
Will you look me deep in the eyes
and tell me it’s still under your skin
Then we can sit down and think
´bout what our love could have been
Will you look me deep in the eyes
and tell me your sweetest sin
Then we can sit down and make up with
what our love could have been
