VIII

I am alive here
Although it feels like time has stood still here
Where i am by myself
With each passing year
It's like i haven't grown at all
Made bitter and vindictive by hurt and fear

And i am plagued still by dreams of us stopping time
I can't remember, was that your wish or is it mine?
It doesn't matter now that i can't help but fantasize
About if you'd remained happily right by my side

I used to say
I will never let you forget me
That you'd rue the day
That you up and left me
That you'd never find
Anyone who could best me
At loving you
But you sure showed me

And for a long time i could tell
That i still had a great deal of control
But now i see that i don't have any power at all
It seems the last of your love has finally run out

You are no knight
Neither am i
Can't keep your eyes
On me this time

Ascending through the stratosphere
Bring me back there
Confront your favorite
Most beloved fear

And if i could actually stop time
Even if it's your wish and not mine
I'm still stuck sharing one mind
I never knew where to draw the line

But i can see that you are doing well
Progressing and in good health
Although i may be in hell
I'd sooner die than accept any of your help

I used to say
I will never let you forget me
That you'd rue the day
That you up and left me
That you'd never find
Anyone who could best me
At loving you
But you sure showed me

And for a long time i could tell
That i still had a great deal of control
But now i see that i don't have any power at all
It seems the last of your love has finally run out

You are no knight
Neither am i
Can't keep your eyes
On me this time
