lyrics

If this is the punishment for all my former sins, I'll let it in,
if this is the moment for all my suffering, when it comes knocking, I'll let it in

You stare through me with those wild, vacant eyes and when I look back I hear your cries
Time passed so slowly and then it was gone, we didn't share, we knew we cared, but now it's gone

A life sentence staring at the floor just hoping for a knock, even death wouldn't be so cold
So when you and I are sitting all alone, we'll listen for that knock as we've been warned

It's no longer punishment, just what life throws us in, to fall and stumble 'round, and get up again.
Despair and destruction, a set of ugly twins, our lives flashed before our eyes so I held you in

You stare through me with those wild, vacant eyes and when I look back I hear your cries
Time passed so slowly and then it was gone, we didn't share, we knew we cared, but now it's gone

Time passed slowly, and then it was gone, it's always too late when we realise our faith and now it's gone
It's always too late when your gone, It's always too late when we realise your gone
It's always too late when we realise, It's always too late the living, It's always too late to listen when your gone
Just breathe, just breathe and try not disguise what's behind your eyes before your gone.
