Hour, minutes, seconds fade,
Years have passed, the price is paid.
Yet every thought, each memory bright,
Becomes my answer—"I'm alright."
I built my walls, stayed strong, stayed true,
Waiting, hoping—all for you.
But time has shown, it’s all in vain,
No more playing through the pain.
Your promises—just fleeting air,
I held on tight, but you weren’t there.
I longed for love, for something new,
Yet all I got was less of you.
Here I stand, my heart undone,
Reaching out, but you have run.
Now I'm empty, lost, confined,
Drowning deep in what’s behind.

Hour, minutes, seconds fade,
Years have passed, the price is paid.
Yet every thought, each memory bright,
Becomes my answer—"I'm alright."
I built my walls, stayed strong, stayed true,
Waiting, hoping—all for you.
But time has shown, it’s all in vain,
No more playing through the pain.
Your promises—just fleeting air,
I held on tight, but you weren’t there.
I longed for love, for something new,
Yet all I got was less of you.
Here I stand, my heart undone,
Reaching out, but you have run.
Now I'm empty, lost, confined,
Drowning deep in what’s behind.
