We promise "forever", but we forget
That time doesn't care about the love we have
It rewrites stories while we sleep
And buries memories six feet under
I tried to put you in a portrait
But even photos fade with the years
And love becomes a strange name
That time never writes the same again
Time, you cruel thief
You kept us together, then you let us bleed
You killed the fire we were trying to keep
But sometimes you revive it in my dreams
Time, you're p****n and a cure
You destroy what was once so pure
You revive what's already d**d
Just to remind us that we're alone
The sand in the hourglass is gone
And the memories are forgotten
They're in the back of our minds
You could d***n us
And maybe that would make what we've lived stay
Shipwrecks aren't forgotten
Would that make us remember forever?
Time, you cruel thief
You kept us together, then you let us bleed
You killed the fire we were trying to keep
But sometimes you revive it in my dreams
Time, you are p****n and a cure
You destroy what was once so pure
You revive what has already died
Just to remind us that we are alone
So let's forget, time
But we'll never forgive you
For taking the best we had
Time, you cruel thief
You kept us together, then you let us bleed
You killed the fire we tried to keep going
Time, time, time, time
(Time, time, time, time)
Time, time, time, time
(Time, time, time, ti-ti-time)
Ti-ti-time, ti-ti-time, ti-ti-time
