It's like staring out the window of your dreams
Watching everything come undone around you
It's like standing in the middle of a burning building
Knowing your memories, this feeling
Destruction you created
It's like striking the match to destroy the past
But something always stops you at the last
Bittersweet memories are yours to keep
It's like trying to let go, too difficult
Crowding your mind with thoughts, static
To shut out the memories on a constant replay
It's like diving into the pool of abandon
Trying to let the dust of the storm settle
Trying to pry your fingers from their grasp on this history
It's like the day you sit and listen to your sad songs
Now you understand where this is coming from
It's like feeling disgusted with your own weakness,
Hearing your own voice telling you to be strong
Standing on that forgotten railway
Watching that bus leave with what remains of your life
It's like locking yourself in the dark
Falling in the silence
Staring at the ceiling trying to sleep
Tossing and turning, wasting the night
It's too dark, now it's too light
too hot, too cold... but only thoughts
Wakefulness,
Insomnia,
Visions,
Lost
It's the questions shouting in your brain
Was that a memory or a dream I had once?
What went wrong?
(What went wrong??)
What did we do to cause this?
Why did we have to fight so much?
We had so much passion,
But it wasn't enough
All our best efforts just weren't enough
It's like every day that passes I forget you a little more
I feel this sorrow in quietly knowing
That one day I won't remember your face,
There won't be a single trace
It's like each year the questions remain unanswered
But we chose this path...
It's like the crossroads where I saw you last
I keep returning, keep coming back
(why?)
But nothing's there
Just hollow memories of the love I once had...
