It’s been a while
Since it has been what it use to be
I’m looking for your smile
But you’re not the face that’s in front of me
And I know you’re tired
But it’s not time to up and leave
I need you for a while
A fleeting glance of what use to be
And now we celebrate every echo your words formulate
And now I know that it’s hard
I can see it in your eyes you’re holding the scars
So just fight for me
I know it’s hard around these demons
In time you’ll see
That every word has a separate meaning
And as you fight for me
You see the scars are only healing
And if you do all of this
You’ll see fighting is your only freedom
And I know you’re tired
But it’s not time to up and leave
I need you for a while
A fleeting glance of what use to be
We celebrate every echo your words formulate
And now I know that it’s hard
I can see it in your eyes you’re holding the scars
So just fight for me
I know it’s hard around these demons
In time you’ll see
That every word has a separate meaning
And as you fight for me
You see the scars are only healing
And if you do all of this
You’ll see fighting is your only freedom
