love was young
we saw beyond a sky that had no limits
much higher than the highest star
beyond the furthest planet
we thought that we could change the world
and everything in it
but time ran out of endless hours
gave in to doubt
were we just playing an endless game
that no-one ever wins

if I could run away
hide away
forget the way I feel
but your memory keeps haunting me
convincing me it's real
now you're not here
now you're not here

love and hate
left up to fate
a life we took for granted
we couldn't stop our running
from the things we always wanted
no long goodbyes
no tears to cry
and nothing to believe in
but now you're gone
we'll never know a love that's grown
time took away
all that it gave to the two of us
when our hearts were young
and night were long
we'd let the morning sun
kiss our eyes open
precious our dreams that we had now
they are dead and gone
the promises we made have all been broken
