Veela - Circa 1620

Forget about me for a little while
I'll be the girl in the tower
Waiting for your call
I'll admire your independence
I'll be the girl whose heart's waiting
Wake me up in Venice

You had been so stone-faced
When I talked to you
I had an explanation
And a reason to break you

"I don't want your perfect love
And certainty
It's too easy to settle down
I need us to be free."

You had to absorb that a minute
All you did was stood up and left
Your questioning eyes made me a fighter
You're so composed, but I'm wiser
You wrapped your arms around me so tightly
Swallow the tears you had been fighting
Close your eyes and kiss my forehead
"Baby, you don't have to do this."

Forget about me for a little while
I'll be the girl in the tower
Waiting for your call
I'll admire your independence
I'll be the girl whose heart's waiting
Wake me up in Venice

So here I am still living life
Apart from you
I've had all my hardships
What have you been through?

Do you know the concept
Of eternal love?
I'm the one who's known it's you
And never given up

I've trudged these broken rocks
Day and night
For what?
To be reminded that people change
Please, make sure he knows that
I'll be here hoping he'll come back
There's only one window in these four walls
It has no glass, but I never fall
Even though I'm constantly searching
Down six storeys, silent and hurting

Forget about me for a little while
I'll be the girl in the tower
Waiting for your call
I'll admire your independence
I'll be the girl whose heart's waiting
Wake me up in Venice

I've become numb to this human life
I've become numb to this human life
This human life

(I'll admire)

I've trudged these broken rocks day and night
For what?
To be reminded that people change
I'm the one who's known it's you
And never given up

This human life
