39. Quote a song lyric that sums up your year:
tainted, has our love grown cold
in a place that’s bitter and broken?
we tasted of a world unknown
surely there must be something better
...something forever
hello from the world below
I’m watching the sun burning
as the world is slowly turning
I know that in letting go
I’m learning how to live
through a life I have to give
walking past the city lights
silence can be so disturbing
you’ll find me standing in the night
the stars never seemed so unending
...so unending
hello from the world below
im watching the sun burning
as the world is slowly turning
I know that in letting go
im learning how to live
through a life I have to give
we painted, white-washed everything
when all that remains
are shadows of the stains
tell me where did we go wrong?
can we just move on?
hello from the world below
i'm watching the sun burning

I know that in letting go
i'm learning how to live
through a life I have to give
hello to the world below
watching the world spinning
this night seems so unending
I follow to a place I know
that’s only the beginning
start over after ending...
