How long did you hold me in your arms
How long did you hold me before you let go
And I've grown into quite the young woman
But this and much more you'll never know.
Too late to call upon the past to suffice
So, I'll wait on the present to wake
And you've known for long that I am still here
Is it too hard for you to label me a mistake.
One day I hope we will meet in forgiveness
Cherish the moment like and exquisite mural
Maybe someday you'll walk over the threshold
And on this occasion I'll be ready for the funeral.
Do you ever think about what I have become
Do you ever think about what you have done
The dead leaves fall and flutter to the earth
But they scatter gracefully as I run.
Playing this song over and over and over
Listening to it for hours on and on for days
Sad lyrics that sting my soul, make my heart skip a beat
Tear drops causing static over the airwaves.
Is it too late for resilience to awaken you
Is it too late for you to trip on guilt
Reach and turn back the withered hands of time
Escape for a moment from the life you've built.
Running the distance between our hearts
Leaving footprints in the weeping soil and I'm
Breaking my boundaries just to find your arms
Until you leave me here just like the first time.
