We are each of us entwined In our hearts and in our minds But we're broken, and we're battered And we're shattered, and we're torn We don't know just what we're saying Til the memories start replaying And we see what truly mattered And what we were fighting for The second hand keeps taking Little pieces in our waking As the dreamer that now screams inside Cries out for something more And our hearts keep on repeating Throughout all bent on defeating Both the strength and sanity we find When we feel there is no more The smiles keep returning Through the lessons we are learning For our memories still bring laughter Just the same as they bring tears This journey we have taken Both forgiven and forsaken Will soon be forever after Be it days or weeks or years So no matter what was done With every battle left unwon We're still here, and we're still standing Even when we feel we're lost Every love that left us bleeding Every fear we kept on feeding Every last misunderstanding All gave more than what they cost For the knowledge we can gain From every single ounce of pain Shapes the way we see tomorrow And everything that we hold dear Even when we're far apart We're forever heart to heart Be it smiles or be it sorrow In my heart, you're always near
