Intro & Verse 1: A5 - F (0:00 - 1:21)
Something says that today's the day
The one I hoped would never be
Consumed like candles we have burned away
We can't shine anymore
The burdens of the bond to be broken
Hang over us like a cloud
But still we try to stop the rain from pouring

Verse 2: A5 - F (1:48 - 2:22)
Open wounds from the drama of lost moments
Rubbing our mercy to ease my pain
But sympathetic remedies have a way of doing
Much more damage in the end
