Slow Decay

Will I ever fall in love without letting the past take control?

Will I ever have a dream without watching the moments when you let me go?

And I hope that you'll come back ten years down the road

But I know you won't

And I know you won't (Hey, hey)

Oh, when you left, was it the last time you held me?

'Cause this empty room is cold and I can't sleep

And I tell myself the darkness isn't real

But I poison myself blind, so I don't feel

This pain inside is dead and growing

See in my eyes 'cause my tears stop flowing

The fight in me in slow decay

Nothing remains

Will I ever fall in love without letting the past take control?

Will I ever have a dream without watching the moments when you let me go?

And I hope that you'll come back ten years down the road

But I know you won't (Hey, hey)

Oh, I hate how memories fall out of reach

But the worst part's picturing you with somebody

And I'm holding on to why I can't let go

And this noose is bound to choke

This pain inside is dead and growing

See in my eyes 'cause my tears stop flowing

The fight in me in slow decay

Nothing remains

Will I ever fall in love without letting the past take control?

Will ever have a dream without watching the moments when you let me go?

Hopeless hope that you'll come back

But it's ten years down the road

And I know that you won't

And I know (Hey, hey) you won't

And I know (Hey, hey) that you won't

And I know you won't
