Once upon a time
I swore I had a heart
Long before the world I know tore it all apart
Once upon a time there was a part of me I shared
Years before they took away the part of me that cared
I've been a thousand places
And shook a million hands
I don't know where I'm goin'

What's that metronome I hear? Perhaps the end is drawing near
You never hear the shot that takes you down
Now your dream's a memory and seems more true from faraway
Just like smoke that fades and makes no sound
Out of time
So say goodbye
What is yours
Now is mine
And I dream broken dreams

Why do I even bother to try anymore

I've given up
