lyrics

When did the best of things become incomplete,
The finer the goods the more obsolete,
And when did you trade in your present for a future that will,
Only come to past,

And how do we know our love from our spite,
The smallest of actions at skyscraper heights,
And how do we know when our well has run dry,
When we had no water at all,

And where do you find the strength to retract,
The words to a girl who won't love you back,
And why did you say them at all when you knew,
That she would only walk by,

Tell me how can you sit and waste with the time,
While shrugging the words and the voice in your mind,
And how do I keep my voice down when I,
Wanna tell my mind to shut up,

And how do you remember the time or the years,
I forgot all my numbers and started counting by my fears,
And how do I shrug off the words like you,
When I know that this is the end,

And just like the waters that leave with the tide,
I would walk through the fires with a limp in my stride,
But please darling don't ask me why because I,
Don't even know myself,

And we treated love like some modern marvel,
Like a sweet young couple in some fictitious novel,
But if you want something done I learned,
That you need to do it your self,

So goodbye.
