I remember it well, I remember it well
Sorrow born from broken lies in the blinking of an eye
Even waking from sleep, it still seems like a dream
Like the story we would write in that single flash of light

Hey, second hand, wait a minute
Please smile at me just a little bit
I was ever always always at your mercy

I’ll destroy the cold and frozen future stretching out ahead
And no matter what it takes I’ll never lose what I hold dear again
I will find you far beyond our fate, transcending destiny
So there’s nothing left of meaning in the many tears we’ve cried

Here in the corner of this world that keeps on spinning in a daze
I hear you breathing in and out like you were calling out in pain
If a thousand moments pass us by, if we can meet again
If we only smile a little we can laugh through our despair

I remember it well, I remember it well
There was life in all I’d see, and it meant the whole world to me
Rolling hills, sky above, every friend that I love
Makes this life we shared worthwhile even if it hurts us

We still don’t know the meaning of these little things so precious and meaningless
The nights make me sick but they keep coming
But we still are crawling forward and screaming out loud
Until we are amazed to find we’ve made it in the end

Surely if we keep on seeking the tomorrows of our dreams
Promise you won’t ever try to hide your loneliness again from me
I will find you far beyond our fate, transcending destiny
So there’s nothing left of meaning in the many tears we’ve cried

Just for the sake of living with the one you love with all your heart
Carving marks along the path you traveled smiling all the way
This life is not a paint by number colored in the lines
So it’s fine to look into the mirror and to see yourself alone

Dead inside, yet living…
I known all along but
I still can’t speak!

I’ll destroy the cold and frozen future stretching out ahead
Even if the memories return from far away to beat me down
I will find you far beyond our fate, transcending destiny
So there’s nothing left of meaning in the many tears we’ve cried

And even if you take a breath and vow to throw it all away
It will still be just as painful on whichever path you take
I want to live my life, I want to live a life I choose
Where I’ll make myself a future full of laughter and of smiles
