Lyrics of 'Charles' by Will Stetson

On that day you were the one who turned and left me while alone in the street
Yet, your eyes were crying desperately
If the time that I was by your side just chokes you through the night
Forget it
And be bright

New bouquet in hand I wander through the sideways, nothing to say
Lost as the town wakes to another day
So I sigh, my thoughts all cast aside, now I’ll leave this heart behind
Is that fine?

If someday this empty piece, could live more kindly
My soul filled up with a blue so deep
How would that future be? How would it suit me?
Should I be scared of the peace?

Love songs, played out, played out, up in the clouds
Their shadows smother the road around me
No, oh no, oh no
Now I'm so far from all the joy we found

We talk and talk, cicadas in the night
Our lover’s quarrels had no end in sight
There’s none, there’s none, there’s none
Our eyes they lie as we say goodbye

Morning rays embrace you softly as the dawn breaks, for all of your pain
The city lets you dream another day
Once again, I’ll follow what you said and forget that road we left
That’s how it ends

Keep my mouth closed, that’s just how it goes
And yet those feelings haunt me like a ghost
And yet I’ll freely go, so just let me know
If I’ll have something to show

Love in hand we spice and we hide our feelings deep inside
All of those drab, filthy lines we lied are now
Are now, are now
It’s just the two of us
I guess that’s right

Oh we mix, and mix up, everything we loved
We cut away but it’s not enough
It’s gone, it’s gone it’s gone
Give me your thoughts, each and every one

Surely, surely, we knew that lying to ourselves would only
Bring us both pain and
Always, always, we felt so lost because through all those days
We never changed that’s
Right, you see, while faking loving
We only withered away

Love songs, played out, played out, up in the clouds
Their shadows smother the road around me
No, oh no, oh no
No every day all my regrets compound
We talk and talk, cicadas in the night
Forgive the lies but it’s still not right

There’s none, there’s none, there’s none
Love songs, played out, played out, up in the clouds
We talk and talk, those words without a sound
Our eyes they lie as we say goodbye
