I still recall the morning When we said our last goodbye The way it felt to hold you Still lingered on my mind I wish I would have spoken Everything I felt inside Now our hearts are broken And there's no excuse for why And I suppose I should have mentioned this Before I had to fly 'Cause never and forever Are the same amount of time What words could I have told you? What things might I have said? Now I'll never hold you I held those words instead And hearts become so fragile When they're so far away And all that really mattered Got lost along the way They say absence makes the heart grow Mine is swollen by the sting 'Cause never and forever Are exactly the same thing They both go on and on and on As far as we can see Forever's much too long For this to never be Now there's nothing left for you And there's nothing left for me I never asked you what you wanted But you told me you were fine I always did believe you Guess I shouldn't have this time You know I would have left that morning I would have drove into the night To hold you in my arms again To start a brand new life I suppose I should have mentioned this While I had you on the line 'Cause never and forever Are the same amount of time They're the same They're the same Never and forever Are the same amount of time They're the same They're the same Never and forever Are the same amount of time...

So Far Gone 04:58
I know we've talked about it So many times before But I want to hear you say it Just once more Every moment of my life I've wondered why It passed me by I never seem to get it right I don't know how I don't know why I used to dream about this Every other night Still when I think about it It's hard not to cry Every moment of my life I've wondered why It passed me by I could never get it right I don't know how I don't know why Now you're so far gone And I'm still here And it's been so long There goes another year Every moment of my life I've wondered why It passed me by I just never got it right I don't know how I don't know why I've written songs about it To find reason in the rhyme But I want to hear it from your lips Just one more time Every moment of my life I've wondered why It passed us by We never did just get it right I don't know how I don't know why Now you're so far gone And I'm still here And it's been so long There goes another year Every moment of my life I need you here By my side We never could just get it right I don't know how I don't know why

It's gone And there's nothing can be done We've lost And there's nothing can be won And I crawl Cause I cannot stand And I cannot walk And when you call You cannot whisper And you cannot talk Regret Never really goes away Try to forget But you'll always feel the pain And the walls Come crumbling down Without a sound And the doors They close behind you And there's no way out And I felt my heart torn into two But the greater part still beats for you I'm not myself anymore I forgot what I came here for And if it's to settle the score Well I guess it's much too late for that So crawl Cause you cannot walk And you cannot run And we know That we can't turn back What's already done I'm sorry But I thought I'd never see you again Now here we are But I guess the dream has come to an end So go To the ones you love And the ones you need 'Cause we know You never made That promise to me And I felt my heart torn into two But the greater part still beats for you And just for a moment we almost had it all But my love, that time Has come and gone

The longer I stay here the more I forget All of the reasons that I ever left In the first place Now I’m filled with regret There is a feeling that I used to know When the warm summer wind turned into the very first snow But that was so long ago Now I know You can’t go home You can never go home I can’t have back all that time stole away But here in my heart is where you always will stay Till the end of my days All of the faces that I used to know And so many places where I used to grow, but I’m older now And it’s starting to show Now I know You can’t go home You can never go home If I should happen to see you again You’ll say “hello” and I’ll say “well, how have you been?" Then we’ll walk away again If ever I called you a friend before Suppose I decided to up and walk back through your door? Well it’s not the same anymore. Now I know You can’t go home You can never go home

Save My Soul 05:05
Time moves slow When you've nowhere left to go The world feels cold When you've got no one to hold on to Save my soul If that's what you came here for Cause I don't know Exactly what I came here for But I know That I can't Do this anymore You hold them close So no one else will know So should I fold Or keep this hand that I now hold? Save my soul If that's what you came here for Cause more and more I'm not sure what I came here for But I know That I won't Do this anymore And there's a certain thing you do and say That helps me understand the way I am And should the daylight fade away We'll just have to do the best we can And we yearn for kindness spoken But our timid hearts get broken... ...again Save my soul If that's what you came here for Cause more and more I'm not sure what I came here for Time moves slow When you've got nowhere to go The world feels cold When you've got no one to hold You hold them close So no one else will know So should I fold Or keep this hand I hold? But I know That I can't Do this anymore

I’ve so much to say but it’s already been said I try to explain but it’s over my head Still trying to stitch every wound that I’ve bled And ditch this feeling that I’ve been left here for dead And now the pain I felt before I can’t feel it anymore But I don’t know for sure If I feel anything at all Anything at all Time moves on but it goes so slow It takes time to heal but the wounds still show There’s so many things that I may never know Each day an attempt just to let it all go And now the pain I felt before I can’t feel it anymore But I can’t say for sure If I feel anything at all Anything at all Anything at all Forgetting yesterday To try to save tomorrow I don't feel anything, anything at all We tried to run away But the time we had was borrowed We don't feel anything, anything at all And I don’t feel the pain And I don’t feel the sorrow I don’t feel anything, anything at all

This Time 05:02
Last time I did things for myself To much pain to try to think of someone else All I knew was how I felt As I tried dealing with the hand that I’d been dealt I felt the weight of everything I’d ever done Taken by fear, this wretched thing that I’d become Last time I left you in the dark As I tried walking it alone I’m sure I broke your little heart And this house is all that’s left of what we called our home Last time I closed my eyes afraid of what I’d see Either way it meant the end for you and me But this time I’ve made up my mind But this time I’ll remember what’s mine And I’ll never let it go again Last time I sought after the signs For some release, but it was always hard to find If I could only have the time To live the dream that I had thought up in my mind I was desperate for some kind of an excuse And so I waited for the answers that I knew (I already knew) But this time I’ve made up my mind But this time I’ll remember what’s mine And I’ll never let it go again And it’s a long way home And we’ve still got so far to go And we've a mountain yet to climb But this time...

So time moved on And I waited for the moment Now the moment’s gone And there’s nothing left to say But I'll be ok Maybe someday I'll be ok Maybe someday It's hard to know If anything is changing I’m holding onto hope That soon the sun will shine And I'll be just fine But time takes time I'll be just fine But time takes time I'll be ok Maybe someday I'll be just fine But time takes time...
