Had a bad dream on the operating table I tried to scream, but I wasn't able They replaced my veins with cables Now I'll never be the same again I can't recharge your spirit I can see the light, but I can't get near it Echoes of your voice, but I can't quite hear it How did we end up here? I spent a lifetime lost A generation of lettin' go And now the daylight can't break through It's a long way back to you Another two years gone I spent forever lettin' go And I don't wanna face the truth It's a long way back to you Another day, slowly fadin' to sleepless nights Lie awake, empty spaces is a wasted time Push and pull, give and take couldn't make you mine, no And I just wanna recharge your spirit I can see a light, but I can't get near it Echoes of your voice, but I can't quite hear it How did we end up here? I spent a lifetime lost A generation of lettin' go And now the daylight can't break through It's a long way back to you Another two years gone I spent forever lettin' go And I don't wanna face the truth It's a long way back to you If everythin' heals with time Then why is our flame dyin'? (Dyin') If you don't want to get this right Then why are we still tryin'? (Still tryin') If everythin' heals with time Then why is our flame dyin'? If you don't want to get this right Then why are we still tryin'? If everythin' heals with time Then why is our flame dyin'? (Why is our flame dyin'?) If you don't want to get it right Then why are we still tryin'? (Why are we still tryin'?) If everythin' heals with time (I spent a lifetime lost) Then why is our flame dyin'? (A generation of lettin' go) If you don't want to get it right (and now the daylight can't break through) Then why are we still tryin'? (It's a long way back to you) If everythin' heals with time (another two years gone) Then why is our flame dyin'? (I spent forever lettin' go) If you don't want to get it right (and I don't wanna face the truth) Then why are we still tryin'? (It's a long way back to you)
