Saudade

Let's just face the facts
We've been drifting farther away
Since we met, my life in disrepair to chase away these things
Extinguish my hope, pray for a new beginning
Test my ways and fail myself again

I see you slipping through my fingers
I feel you creeping through my mind
Agitate and terrorize

And now I'm never looking back
How can I find the words to say
Now erasing all our memories
To feel whole again

You got me feeling empty-handed
A feeling never felt before
Now you've got me running
Running for the door

A memory, an oh so blissful memory
To take me back to you
A scene, an oh so beautiful scene
Decaying within you

Our time has long since passed
Our flame has died
We burned out before we got to try
We were never meant to last
How could we never see
You and I were never meant to be
There are things we just can't get back

I remember a time and place
Where we both lay in floating space
I remember a time
I remember a place
Do you think of the old days

And now I'm never looking back
How can I find the words to say
Now erasing all our memories
To feel whole again
