Metronome
W
ell if fate said we’d be friends,
If it knew all along that we’d be like this,
Then why did it end?
Then I see how life tricked me
And I realize our pain was part of fate too
We were never meant to be
Always
I dreamed again of things I can’t have,
Just being the fool I am
And so we tortured one another
And we hurt each other
Just saying words I knew would break you
I couldn’t even miss you
Well now you know, I let you go, before the regret came
I was weak and so afraid
No matter what the time of day,
What I try to throw away,
In the end I’ll find myself breaking and calling out your name
No matter how I’m hating you,
My mind still thinks of you
And the things that I thought but never said
But I wish that you’d laugh at me instead
Everything’s so grey nowadays
Any life that I live is feeling pointless
Since you’ve gone away
Everything’s just gone back in time
We just went to the place before we both met
Yet I’m still wondering why
Surely
We’d both become like little metronomes
And going on in the same tone
Our tempos swung along and stayed the same
Going on for everyday
Then bit by bit, before I could think
We grew apart and lost sync
The time went on, your love was gone, before I could comprehend
We just couldn’t stop the end
Where will we be from here on out?
Will I live with all these doubts?
Will you fade within my heart, and cease the grief I sing about?
No matter how you hated me,
How happy you will be
I don’t wish you’d forget you loved me
‘Cause I know in my heart, you’ll always be…
Just passing by the truth and lies,
Our backs are turned despite how hard we had tried
Walking along, gradually moving out of sight
If once again our tempos then
Could match like when we lived as only best friends,
Maybe just then, in a new life of things said
Could we meet and love once again?
No matter what the time of day,
What I try to throw away,
In the end I’ll find myself a fool and love you anyways
No matter how I’m hating you,
My mind still thinks of you
And the things that I thought but never said
But I wish that you’d laugh at me instead
In a life after this, we’ll meet again
