Take my breath away, I don't need it anyway
cause I'm fine here in my old forgotten world
where I can be myself, left with the hand I'm dealt
and it's hard to get a grip when you're holding onto something you just let slip away

Here with my old friend, the silence in the end
And it rings so loud that I cannot pretend
I just close my eyes and ask a thousand whys
Will it change or stay the same? Will it ever go away?
The question still remains
