The Metro (Berlin cover) Lyrics
I'm alone
Sitting with my empty glass.
My four walls
Follow me through my past
I was on a Paris train
I emerged in London rain,
And you were waiting there
Swimming through apologies.
I remember searching for the perfect words.
I was hoping you might change your mind.
I remember a soldier sleeping next to me.
Riding on the Metro.
You wore white,
Smiling as you took my hand.
So removed
We spoke of wintertime in France.
Minutes passed with shallow words.
Years have passed and still the hurt.
I can see you now
Smiling as I pulled away.
I remember the letter wrinkled in my hand.
"I'll love you always" filled my eyes.
I remember a night we walked along the Sein
Riding on the Metro
I remember a feeling coming over me
The soldier turned then looked away
I remember hating you for loving me
Riding on the Metro
I'm alone
Sitting with my broken glass.
My four walls
Follow me through my past
I was on a Paris train
I emerged in London rain,
And you were waiting there
Swimming through apologies.
Fucking asshole.
I remember searching for the perfect words.
I was hoping you might change your mind.
I remember a soldier sleeping next to me.
Riding on the Metro
Sitting with my empty glass.
My four walls
Follow me through my past
I was on a Paris train
I emerged in London rain,
And you were waiting there
Swimming through apologies.
I was hoping you might change your mind.
I remember a soldier sleeping next to me.
Riding on the Metro.
Smiling as you took my hand.
So removed
We spoke of wintertime in France.
Minutes passed with shallow words.
Years have passed and still the hurt.
I can see you now
Smiling as I pulled away.
"I'll love you always" filled my eyes.
I remember a night we walked along the Sein
Riding on the Metro
The soldier turned then looked away
I remember hating you for loving me
Riding on the Metro
Sitting with my broken glass.
My four walls
Follow me through my past
I was on a Paris train
I emerged in London rain,
And you were waiting there
Swimming through apologies.
Fucking asshole.
I was hoping you might change your mind.
I remember a soldier sleeping next to me.

good cover. i haven't yet heard a bad cover of this song. something about the song lends it to be inherantly well done. then again, I'm biased. =)
I love this song, they perform it well!!
uhm. system of a down performed that song, too, didn't they?
I haven't heard system of a down's version of this song
"I remember hating you for loving me!" That has to be my fav. part of this song!
Good cover of a crappy song by Berlin, doesn't top SOAD's version of it though
the soad song is much better although the lyrics are a little different
yep. bgood cover, not the best one though, cos system do it better. seems to fit serj's voice perfectly.
i agree....its an awesome cover of a great song...alkaline trio never ceases to knock me on my ass with their brilliance
i remember being little and hearing berlin's version and the alkaline trio do it justice. it's wonderful.
'i remember hating you for loving me'
