the days go by in a blur, one blends into another with no meaning
the months go by unnoticed, insubstantial, disconsolate
the years fly by, and still I can faintly feel your ghost by my side
the memory of times past, of happiness squandered, thrown away
for some stupid fight, for self-destrictive habits, for nothing
time passes, and I can still remember the sound of your voice
all the memories of people who said that they'd always be there
all the times people have promised something they couldn't give
empty promises ring so gloriously when they're given so sincerely
but after that first sounding of the bell, the promise fades to dust
and all that's left in it's wake is regret, and shattered hopes
so go ahead, promise you'll love me, promise you'll be there
promise me the world, the stars, and the sun
but know that I won't believe a promise you make until it's filled
time apart doesn't always make the heart grow fonder
if you're insecure, it only makes the doubts grow stronger
