I can almost see…what you really used to be
And what you’ve turned into right now….
It’s so clear... it is…

Time is like the desert zephyr, the sands just fade away
To another land, and we can’t see where it’s heading, yeah...
And memories seem just like hollow kisses of love and warmth,
So swiftly turned to dust, washed away with the wind that wipes my tear…
And you were once so close, I could feel the ripples of your heartbeats,
But now you’ve gone so far, so far, just too far-
And the distance cuts into my memory, and I can’t even reflect your eyes,
The eyes I knew, inside my heart…yeah…

I can almost see…what you really used to be
And what you’ve turned into right now….
It’s so clear... it is…

And for once I thought, just this once, that maybe there’s light-
At the end of this deep tunnel, impenetrable still.
I believed your love would be the sunshine slaying through the murk,
But now that my lips are frozen, and my mind too numb to discern-
Just how wrong I was, just how many lies have fallen upon me
The weight feels miserable, now that I’ve found them out- the lies
I’m crumpling under the pressure, and I can’t stand the putrid odor-
Of lies and false pretensions, and hollow faiths, that dwelled far too long
Inside my heart…this little, softened heart of mine…

I can almost see…what you really used to be
And what you’ve turned into right now….
It’s so clear... it is…

And to think I always thought, yeah, that you’d save me when I went-
Overboard…yeah, I though you’d kill the fire that burned to destroy me.
But look at me now; I tell myself, I’m drowning in the sea of tears-
Tears you wielded on your own, and you’re betrayal, change and lies –
Like gasoline on the fire that is out to reach me, to kill me.
And you’ve also put it out – the flame that keeps me going,
To think that I could rely on you, to catch me when I fall-
But when its you who’s standing on the edge
& pushing my fingers off the rock, so that I let go, so that I keep falling forever…

I can almost see…what you really used to be
And what you’ve turned into right now….
It’s so clear... it is…

Thought we were one, but we’ve broken in two,
Seems we never really were those lovers I dreamt of every night
And now I know, that fairytale I always wanted,
The one I thought I almost had in my grasp
It ended just too fast, and that’s when I knew,
That it never actually began.
