歌词 ：

Song ：Silhouette
Artist ：Owl City

I'm tired of waking up in tears
Cos I can't put to bed these phobias and fears
I'm new to this grief I can't explain
But I'm no stranger to the heartache and the pain

The fire I began is burning me alive
But I know better to leave and let it die
I'm a silhouette asking every now and then
Is it over yet? Will I ever feel again?

I'm a silhouette chasing rainbows on my own
But the more I try to move on, the more I feel alone
So I watch the summer stars to lead me home

I'm sick of the past I can't erase³
A jumble⁴ of footprints and hasty steps I can't replace
The mountain of things I still regret
Is a vile⁵ reminder⁶ that I would rather just forget (no matter where I go)

The fire I began is burning me alive
But I know better than to leave and let it die
I'm a silhouette asking every now and then
Is it over yet? Will I ever smile again?

I'm a silhouette chasing rainbows on my own
But the more I try to move on, the more I feel alone
So I watch the summer stars to lead me home

Cos I walk alone
(no matter where I go)
Cos I walk alone
(no matter where I go)
Cos I walk alone
(no matter where I go)

I'm a silhouette asking every now and then
Is it over yet? Will I ever love again?

I'm a silhouette chasing rainbows on my own
But the more I try to move on, the more I feel alone
So I watch the summer stars to lead me home
I watch the summer stars to lead me home
