lyrics

Times change
Love wanes
Dreams once bright
Eventually fade

Lost love
Lost light
Past glories
They keep me awake
At night, I lay
We've run out of words to say

I think we're heading into open water
There's no bed beneath us
So I think it's over now

Our passion buried
Twixt the bricks and mortar
With no light to guide us
We're just heading further out

So long
Lost pride
Excuses, just to get by
Maybe, happy
You'll meet her
And maybe she'll set you free
But not I
I've run out of love
I've run out of life

I think we're heading into open water
There's no bed beneath us
So I think it's over now
Our passion buried
Twixt the bricks and mortar
With no light to guide us
We're just heading further out

Cause I'm the one who set you adrift
I guess I knew this just wasn't it
It's just not good enough to exist
And it never really lived

So take me out to waters so clear
And let my days with you disappear
Cause you were never here
To wash away my tears
