lyrics

Time and time again
it slips away and loses us within
the hands keep turning but it all feels the same
without you i've lost the meaning to my name
I've seen too much in my short time
and seen through time itself
so I wait for time to take me away

I can't promise you forever
because I'm not here to stay
just hold on to these precious moments
until time takes me away
they say nothing lasts forever
it's a god damn shame
when I leave this all behind
just don't forget my name

I'm only young
but I'm filled with time
a broken life starts with a broken mind
there's never a chance to fall asleep
once you've awakened yourself for good
I've given up on myself
I've given up on everything

Now I'm feeling these feelings
it's just like I'm dreaming
still I can't seem to find any sleep
it's all the lights at night that always keep me upright
all through the sleepless nights I stay sound awake
staying to take the time just to make sure you hear everything i've been aching to say
This all won't go away until I'm completely erased
until then I'll stay sound awake

I can't find any sleep
so i lay here sound awake

I can't promise you forever
because I'm not here to stay
just hold on to these precious moments
until time takes me away
they say nothing lasts forever
it's a god damn shame
when I leave this all behind
just don't forget my name
