By the time you'll be leaving
Please make sure that I'm sleeping
Cause I don't think I'll bear the sight of you walk away
In the warm realm of dreaming
I will shelter this feeling
I will winter my sorrow till it no longer stays
Hush now, I don't want to listen
I won't let this become my memory
I hung my head and cried myself to sleep
So leave me here, alone in misery
I knew you would have to leave
So finally prepared, as much as I can be
I closed my eyes and cried myself to sleep
So leave me here, alone in misery
By the time you'll be leaving
Please make sure that I'm sleeping
Cause I don't think I'll bear the sight of you walk away
In the warm realm of dreaming
I will shelter this feeling
I will winter my sorrow till it no longer stays
All you say will only make it worse
So I won't listen, not a single word
One day I will overcome remorse
I should've kept my secrets never told
Soon I'll slip into my dreaming
And no longer tortured I will find bliss
I refuse to see you leaving
So please watch your steps and walk away in peace
By the time you'll be leaving
By the time you'll be leaving
Please make sure that I'm sleeping
Cause I don't think I'll bear the sight of you walk away
In the warm realm of dreaming
I will shelter this feeling
I will winter my sorrow till it no longer stays
