They don't know you like I do I know that your heart burns true Still they try and send their waves after you When evening falls I know where your demons crawl Can't deny it, that you fight them face-on When all is done and said, you are on my mind and Ignore their greasy eyes, cherish your all While we grow still Sophia, oh I might be gone tonight But I'm never far from you, oh Sophia Know I said goodbye, but I'll never forget your heart My Sophia Swear that I won't slip away The essence of your heart will always stays safe within my lungs And the blood in my veins When the crowds are gone and we are old By your side I rest bones, take our space in the grass And watch 'til lilies grow That's when I'm on my knees Can see the fall is from the trees Just like the morning breeze You know you pick me up with ease Sophia I might be gone tonight But I'm never far from you Sophia Know I said goodbye, but I'll never forget your heart My Sophia Sophia My Sophia Sophia My Sophia I might be gone tonight But I'm never far from you Sophia I might be gone tonight But I'm never far from you Sophia Know I said goodbye, but I'll never forget your heart My Sophia
