First off,
you are on your own.
Where the hell were you
when I was all alone?
Secondly,
get up off your knees.
Oh God you look so damn pathetic
and you can hardly breath.
I met you in the yard;
tears were streaming all across your face.
You said you lost something
you can't replace.
Oh how the moments fade.
Oh how we struggle to
erase the things we've made.
I know what it feels like
watching someone die
and holding on to fleeting breaths
you selfishly supply.
I kissed you on the mouth and
you told me this was it;
I made you a promise
and you pretended to believe I'd keep it.
Oh how the moments fade.
Oh how we struggle to
erase the things we've made.
Oh how we will replace
the things we once held so close to our face.
So take your truth and run.
Hold it close to your heart.
Don't let anyone
tear it apart.
Oh how the moments fade.
Oh how we struggle to
erase the things we've made.
Oh how it seems to be the case,
we've spent our whole lives searching for
something we lost along the way.
Let's go back to where we started out.
We're looking for answers
to all the wrong questions.
So let's go back and retrace all our steps.
I see the truth is so clear now;
and I can't let you go.
