Lyrics
was barely rest to be had
it was the winter to be your last
the conversations that we lacked
we tried to make up in every word we said
as hard to watch as it's to be
a slow decline into a machine
the bitter season's made me weak
i couldn't save you from everything
and every goddamned minute felt so long in that wicked place
but then we wondered where our time had gone as you slipped away
you're like a star
lives we've built, how they all come crashing down
lives we've built, how they all come crashing down
and that night, i saw you in my dream
(just a fleeting memory)
you had come to tell me you were leaving
(no, you couldn't stay with me)
and i have learned
there's no such thing as dying young
we wither just the same as anyone
a will so faded
to match with the bedsheets
a heart sustained by puppets with their fake smiles and sad eyes
take me away from this cold, lonely room
(all these bags of poison are
knocking 'gainst the walls in my veins)
please don't leave me here, i can't make this through
(artificial sleep for when
i need a release from the pain)
you're like a star, shining bright and moving fast
but one day your time will pass
lives we've built, how they all come crashing down
lives we've built, how they all come crashing down
as we're left to carry on our own
was barely rest to be had
it was the winter to be your last
we tried to grow our spirits back
but all our hope wilted with the grass
and every goddamned minute felt so long in that wicked place
but then we wondered where our time had gone as you slipped away
you're like a star
(but i know someday your time will come to pass)
