A dying world moves forward
A blur of timeless haze
Each heart beats with a story
And every destiny unfolds

There is one standing still
Watching life pass her by
Her heart still beats
But she cannot be saved

Her story has been written
The ending has been told
She knows what they don't see
And she stands alone

She is the one past saving
She cannot be rescued
Her voice is rarely heard
But somehow she still speaks

This world cannot be hers
Nor can happiness
That's not her part to play
She was meant to be alone

So she waits
For anyone she can help
Knowing they will leave
And that her future isn't real

For her there's no tomorrow
Hope only brings pain
What she wants doesn't matter
But that's alright

Her heart is bleeding
Twisted in countless ways
She hides the bloodstains
And somehow she smiles

She has no time for tears
Her own pain does not matter
If she can live for others
She can still live on
