Lorie was a girl who built up all her world out of nothing

She's got a bright mind and a smile but something in her eyes is fading
A F#m C#m C#m

A F#m C#m C#m
She'd rather take a run than to take a quiet walk in the sun
[Chorus 1]

Waking up to begin

A F#m C#m C#m
She always tried to find a reason to deny the real thing
A F#m C#m C#m
Cause something in her mind has been locked from behind for ages

She built a castle in the sky but a dreadful hollow sound became so loud
A F#m C#m C#m
That she couldn't hear a word from the friends who came around to save her

She suddenly realized she'd been holding her breath for too long (soft drums)
A F#m C#m C#m
And now she is emerging from a dive within the depths of a dark sea (soft drums)
A F#m C#m C#m
She's coming into sight, yearning for part of a good time
A F#m C#m C#m
Desire is the sign that made her leave illusions behind…
