So much time slipped away

As if it meant nothing at all 

(I remember that night)

We didn't know it

It would be our last



(But now as I look back) 

An awkward tension (hung in the air)



Now everything is different

I don't know you anymore

And as we pass in the hall

I feel myself weeping inside



Knowing that the friendship that there once was 

Has withered to a glowing ember

Of a fire that burned so brightly



And I swear to you (the times are changing and I swear that you are too)

I swear to you (that I'm no different) this I swear to you. 

(I think you're well aware) that this path we've taken is all but fair

With everyday (we're led astray) and slowly it just slipped away

Away from me



I am now accompanied by

Hollowed memories

All of them faded to black and grey



And I swear to you (the times are changing and I swear that you are too)

I swear to you (that I'm no different) this I swear to you. 

(I think you're well aware) that this path we've taken is all but fair

With everyday (we're led astray) and slowly it just slipped away



These thoughts they tear me up inside, devour me, consume my mind

I scream at night, rip out my hair

How much more can I forbear?



I swear, this I swear to you

From birth I think we knew

Nothing is truly alive unless it dies 



(And you I think you're well aware) 

This path we've taken is all but fair

With everyday (we're led astray) 

And slowly it just slipped away

Away from me
