As we stand there and watch the sun set on this windy day,
I want to believe that things will truly be alright
as I hold my breath and watch the sun fade away.
We have become so close in these last few days
Yet we still stand far apart.
Wounds from the past build upon you
And you are never completely healed.
I want to hold your hand and tell you we're safe
but I could never lie to you.
As much as I'd like to I can not change the past,
I'm sorry I can not save you.
No matter how much time goes by
you will always be a victim to your memories.
Silently I close my eyes to what little sleep I've had.
It's been a long time since this place was at peace.
Fighting a battle every day,
What has become of this world?
Tears cloud my eyes but I can not cry tonight.
I wish so badly to set you free.
So that we can go own living our normal lives,
the way things used to be.
I want to hold you until my arms grow tired
but I fear we must move on and start another day
I am afraid that I can not stay.
I force out what hope is left withen me
and pick up my worn soul.
It's time that we move on despite our fears,
Despite our memories.
