lyrics

Staring at the ruins that are left behind
I still can feel your shadow lurking deep inside my mind
nothing remaining but this empty sea
your memory still fresh,
keeps slowly burning up the life in me

cannot fast forward
cannot rewind
no way to play nor pause or leave the past behind
Keep pushing onward, or forever stop the pain
I can’t keep just moving on,
when all I want's to dance with you again

live only, to pay for my mistakes
to be forever haunted
by the choices that one makes

This guilt is turning into shame
I take no pride
in this cursed man that I became

When all is gone, when all the candles burn,
the darkness comes when that last page is turned
When all is gone and you don't see the light,
look to the stars, they're still shinning bright

You seem so far away,
come back to me if only for today,
Don’t bury all our thoughts and memories
To see you once again
I try to rise above these broken dreams
But I can’t bury all these thoughts and memories
it is the price to pay ...

When all is gone, when all the candles burn,
the darkness comes when that last page is turned
When all is gone and you don't see the light,
look to the stars, they're still shinning bright

You've gone so far away,
come back to me if only for today,
Don’t bury all our thoughts and memories
To see you once again
I try to rise above these broken dreams
But I can’t bury all our thoughts and memories ...
