Tick tock tick tock, the sound of time ticking
The quiet streets
I’m being pulled somewhere
Shuffling, shuffling, my feet have stopped
Why can’t I move?
I lifted my head and when I saw what was ahead

(Is it someone I knew? Or someone who knows me?)

You’re shedding tears as you look at me

(You’re holding me tight, tears continuing to fall)

Without a sound, you’re crying
And my heart is

Crying, I can’t breathe
Crying, without knowing, I’m holding you
I remember every single part of you that I held in, that I hid

Just one look at you
And I’m breaking down right away
I’m such a fool, such a fool
Why did I try to bury you in my memories?

Past time, wrong decisions, can’t I go back to those times?
My heart recognizes you first, I remember you whom I’ve lost
My head is a mess, you’ve faded away into that last moment
It’s making me cry again, are they tears of joy from seeing you again?

(I’m holding your hand, looking into your eyes)
I’m mumbling toward you, I missed you so much

Crying, I can’t breathe
Crying, without knowing, I’m holding you
I remember every single part of you that I held in, that I hid

Passionate memories are flowing
My heart recognized you a little earlier

When I softly touched your wet eyes
I guess it made you even more sad

Crying, I can’t breathe
Crying, without knowing, I’m holding you
I remember every single part of you that I held in, that I hid

Just one look at you
And I’m breaking down right away
I’m such a fool, such a fool
Why did I try to bury you in my memories?
