Echoes of What Never Was

Everything goes still when you’re around
A faint memory with no sound
I hear my thoughts screaming at me
To reach out for you but I’m paralyzed in time

My breath so unsteady, unable to think straight
The desire I long for never faded with time

This mental weakness I can’t handle
Just one glance, the world stands still
Frozen in time
Watched you in the third person
And I just

Can’t believe that after all this time
It was you that got away
Even when I tried
Never got the chance to reach into your heart
Imprinted with this mirage, romanticized
An illusion living in parallel time

Can’t believe that after all this time
It was you that got away
Even when I tried
Never got the chance to reach into your heart
Imprinted with this mirage, romanticized
An illusion living in parallel time

Run away and get away
From the gentle torment I can’t escape
Break these chains
From this obsession

Can’t believe that after all this time
It was you that got away
Even when I tried
Never got the chance to reach into your heart
I got to learn, watch you with someone else
Elusive dream to get away
From this painful reality I obtain

Run away and get away
From the gentle torment I can’t escape.
