lyrics

there's
still time
to make
you fine
to fix
what's wrong
inside
of you
the doctors,
they'll
know what
to do
to save
your life
not let
you die
to keep
you here
right by
my side
and then
we'll go-
IT'S ALREADY HAPPENED

I never thought it would turn out this way,
That you'd be leaving me by the end of the day,
I thought that everyone was overreacting,
I thought that everybody overreacted,
I was wrong.
And now,
Now you're gone.

For fifteen years, I've been trying to hear,
Some kind of message from you, just to prove that you're near,
Feels like I'm living life inside of a ghost town
Yes, I've been living life inside of a ghost town for so long...
Eleven years passed just to find the Sun.

It feels like it happened yesterday,
But at the same time it feels like it was lifetimes away,
And I'm still bargaining for just a moment,
Yes, I'm still bargaining for just a split second with you...
I prayed so much,
Until I saw the truth.

You're never coming back, I understand,
But please don't lie to me and say it's part of God's plan,
Cuz none of this happened for a reason,
Oh no, not everything happens for a reason,
It's not fair...
I won't investigate to see if God is there.

So here we are, the precipice of our lives,
And both our backs are filled with all of Fate's sharpest knives,
And all our blood is pouring out of the wounds now,
Yes, all our blood is pouring out of those wounds,
Down to the floor...
I'm afraid to see what Fate has got in store.

I still remember the day when you left me,
It felt like I was still asleep, living life in a dream,
And now I feel like I'm running from something,
Yes I've been feeling like I'm running from something,
For so long,
I'm running out of breath,
And I feel like I've got
Nowhere left to run.
