I don't want to talk at all 
Leave this once for me 
It's not how I want it to be 
You are not who you were 
You say that you have healed 
It's not how I want it to be 

We covered a lot of ground 
Spent so many years 
All that effort just to bring us here 
We faltered on our words 
Resisted all the signs 
Do we just leave it all behind 

How did it come to this 
This bitterness so real 
Another swallowed appeal 
Now it's time I end this game 
My hands are tied with fear 
My conscience not quite clear 

We covered a lot of ground 
Spent so many years 
All that effort just to bring us here 
We faltered on our words 
Resisted all the signs 
Do we just leave it all behind 

Can you see the fire dying 
Can you see this and end this denying 
Time is just moving on making what it will of us 
Some of us still carry on sift and scavenge through dust
