The Moth

Lyrics
You cannot win the long, hard race with time With burdens borne on you, you cannot rise And what you’ve loved you cannot recognize When it’s after, all that mattered The moth cannot be as before cocooned The mermaid cannot but dream that she flew I cannot see in you the boy I knew So long after, does it matter? You cannot wish the genie back to life You can’t erase the bad times from your mind Sometimes the hero does not come in time Only after it doesn’t matter You can I, it was the sweetest life You wore a different scent, with different eyes which I admired You weren’t the girl you are before you died So long ago flew, do I know you? I cannot love you in the way you want You are simply not the boy I loved In the end change takes us all apart It comes and scatters all that matters I cannot keep the boy I held so tight I couldn’t know our dream would take our lives I wish for you a better life this time Our love lies scattered Lost in tatters It once so mattered
