Lyrics[]

They say tomorrow's ended
We found a place to stay
Well, moments last forever
And never go away
And that's the way it should be
I still recall the best times
I just gave everything to you
It's then you see, the truth just turns to lies
It's then you see, the truth was in your eyes

I'm motionless, I'm left behind
Your nature was to be unkind
You deal the cards, you win the game
My life can never be the same 
And if I was to say to you "Please go away"
If I was...
And if I was to say to you "Please go away"
