my heart rejects you like a stubborn VCR
your name sticks to my throat like it's in hot summer tar
i want to say
i miss you
i want to say
i care
but our future looks so empty as i'm grasping for some air.

we knew it wouldn't be easy as you held me that last night
but at least then i could hear your heartbeat, now i only hear your sigh.

"I'm yours forever", I once said
"I see us together", You replied

will the distance overcome our promises? will heartache leave us dry?
emotion makes a cruel companion
like our curse, our cure is time
