We're Through
Our hearts don't beat as one anymore.We're through. 1 There are only our songs.
They will survive for centuries.
But not us, though we were close together.
Kilometers down this path, I'm on the road again
There's nothing to save. Or is it, what's there to save?
Our phone calls, are 'How are you?'
With meaningless responses of 'Hello. Everything is fine. Bye.'
Well then, the time for 'goodbye' has come.
What was in your heart these past years?
What's left, and what calls to you again?
Just a good memory that won't ever come back.
Our hearts don't beat as one anymore.
We're through. There are only our songs.
They will survive for centuries.
But not us, though we were close together.
I wrote so many things on blank white paper
about lost love and this dirty war.
I know that we find less, and we lose more often.
What will there be for you and me tomorrow?
Kilometers down this path, I'm on the road again
There's nothing to save. Or is it, what's there to save?
There's no going back, nor going forward.
Leave our years on the roadside like footprints.
Our hearts don't beat as one anymore.
We're through. There are only our songs.
They will survive for centuries.
But not us, though we were close together.
