It starts with one, one spark, don't ask me why
No matter how I fight, it still slips by
Kept it in mind, I framed this line
To break it down in time

All I know, time's a fragile thing
Watch it fly as the moments swing
See it run out at the end of the race
The clock just fades away

It's surreal, never saw the fall
Watched it drift right past it all
Tried to hold tight, didn't even know
I gave it my best just to watch you go

Held it all inside, and even though I tried
It shattered in my hands
What it meant to me is now just memory
Of a time when

I fought so hard, reached so far
But in the end, it slips through like water
I had to fall to lose it all
But in the end, it slips through like water

One spark, still don't know why
Doesn't change no matter how I try
Held it in mind, I wrote this rhyme
To remind myself how I fought that fight

Despite the way you'd look through me
Treated like I was nothing but debris
Thinking 'bout all the scars you gave
Can't believe I let it get that far

Things ain't the same, not like before
You wouldn't even know me anymore
Not that you ever really did
But it echoes back again... In the end

Held it all inside, and even though I tried
It shattered in my hands
What it meant to me is now just memory
Of a time when

I fought so hard, reached so far
But in the end, it slips through like water
I had to fall to lose it all
But in the end, it slips through like water

I placed my faith in you
Pushed to the edge, yeah, that's the truth
But after all, there's only one thing left to prove

I placed my faith in you
Gave all I had, it's nothing new
But after all, there's only one thing left to prove

I fought so hard, reached so far
But in the end, it slips through like water
I had to fall to lose it all
But in the end, it slips through like water
