let it die

A heart of gold but it lost it's pride
Beautiful veins and bloodshot eyes
I've seen your face in another light
Why'd you have to go and let it die?

And it all slips away, like water in your hands. A beauty only in memory. A wave of nostalgia. You stand in a corner and watch it all fade into oblivion. Watched how I let it all die. Irrecoverable. I looked into the old familiar faces of people I once called family, in the old familiar place I once called home. Wondering what have I lost and what have I become since I left. Gained something. Lost something. But for a short while, I managed to breathe that old familiar past. Wanting to freeze it into a million folds than just a single shot of a digital camera. A memory of reliving a memory.

Do you ever think of me?
You're so considerate
Did you ever think of me?
Oh so considerate

And I can't sleep. Couldn't shake my head off it. Lost it like time when all I needed was just a measly fraction of it. Maybe because I wanted more. Maybe because I expected some truth in what I was told. A sugar-coated lie? Karma? Or just the bittersweet reality of unrightful circumstances? Because people only stop and take notice when something no longer exist. Only remembers when something's gone for good...

Heart's gone cold and out of time
Why'd you have to go and let it die?
