Song Lyrics

The miles I've traveled now seem like withered time
Fixated on the rear view when I can't see ahead
For me to view a reflection without corruption
So a past won't dictate a present
Months pass, sitting still, thinking in this box
Where my thoughts are not friendly nor hopeful
This weak mind and body crumble

Who we were will never be the same
We'll never relive the feeling
Love we made, we let it slip away
And I just can't face it

I can feel it coming on, living inside
Calling me right back to you
My regret meets no resistance
And I endorse this torment to feel
If you exhaust a heart of love
Is the pumping of blood still enough?
Do the limbs go numb?

Who we were will never be the same
We'll never relive the feeling
Love we made, we let it slip away
And I just can't face it
Who we were will never be the same
We'll never relive the feeling
Love we made, we let it slip away
And I just can't face it

My fictional friend, conducting me piece by piece
I feel your cold blank stare cast on me
I don't ask to be mended
Just understand my words and hear me out
All the passion has faded
All the fire has burned out

How could I see it coming?
This electrifying high that we would grow to resent

I can feel it coming on, living inside
Calling me right back to you
