LYRICS
There's a boy who sits alone, thinking now it's done
It's the end of the line, there's no where left to run
And as he sits and breathes and lives and sees he sinks to his knees
This is hardly the way it was supposed to be
There's a girl who sits alone, thinking now it's done
Both of us have lost, neither has won
And she says, "Maybe we were perfect for each other, you and I,
Did you ever think so, we just met at the wrong time?"
And he says, "Killing time and filling time are no way to live,
I'd give you all my love if I had any left to give."

And he says,
"Do you remember the first time?
Will you remember the last?
Will you think back on me kindly
When I'm a shadow in your past?"

And the girl, she falls apart, her mind wanders far
Back to the start, back when love wasn't war
And she thinks, "Is this what I'm in for? Is this all there is?
Does it get any better, any easier than this?"
And he says, "Giving up on love is no way to live,
I'd give you anything but I have nothing left to give."
But she stays in the back of his mind and won't let go
And he thinks to himself, "I just want you to know,
Goodbye for now, I'm sorry that it ended this way
I"ll see you in another life, on another day."
