under it all, it eats away (consuming you with what could have been)
standing still, to this day (unable to look past what you didn't win)

--

Lives destroyed, potential to waste
lost in teh memories of decisions faced
looking at what could have been done
turning your back to a rising sun

--

look back, never ahead
why move on when you can dwell instead?
it helps to cope, it eases pain
but always aware nothing will be the same
consumed by pain, regret and self doubt
never seeing what it's really all about

hopes smashed, it's still so clear (what you did and what you didn't do)
mirrors reflect, the greatest fear (what will dissapear that you hold dear to you?)

--

coming back, she'll never be
though it's something hard to see
times pass, not for me
remaining in this fantasy
wake up, can never sleep
dreams of memories take me in to deep

here then gone, it'll never stay (the only thing you live your life for)
forced to live another day (though each day grows darker)
