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
