There was something I saw in your eyes.
Maybe it was a spark of me in there,
But I could never know with the other at your side
Like a flower, unfurling to the moon's embrace,
I follow with that silvery light behind you.
If only there was a reflection in your eyes.
But it's something in the past,
I could at least see that.
That there was nothing left to wait for.
There was nothing left to hope for.
Nothing left to hold on to.
That red string of fate had already been cut,
Tangled between you and someone else
Like a knot I knew I could never undo.
If only I could beg the heavens to rewrite the past,
To give me another small chance and take me back
Perhaps everything could be a nightmare to forget.
But that's something in the past,
I could at least see that.
That there was nothing left to wait for.
There was nothing left to hope for.
Nothing left to hold on to.
So turn your eyes away from my shadowed face,
Look up with a smile on your lips to the other
And let me watch from afar in this place.
Just let me remember you like that.
