lyrics

I wish that I could turn back the time
So I can start this all over again and again.

So ceaseless and constant,
So callous and cold.
I've done this before,
I'm not so demure,
Just a hardened soul.
Wake, struggle, sleep and repeat,
It's all that I know.
I will not go,
Despair is not defeat.

Time ticks away,
Time takes away
Everything we could have been.
Grief has clouded my soul,
But I won't let it get to me.

I hope that I have the strength to fight for you over and over again and again.
I wish that I could turn back the time so I can start this all over again and again.

I never wanted to fail you,
I'm sorry.
I promise I won't stop until I've seen this through.

Now time ticks away,
Time takes away
Everything we could have been.
Grief has clouded my soul,
But I won't let it get to me.

I need the respite that only tomorrow can bring, if it ever comes.

I hope that I have the strength to fight for you over and over again and again.
I wish that I could turn back the time so I can start this all over again and again.

Again and again.
