you were gold, i was a diamond
you were soft, i was hard as hell
and i will meet you there
in the ring you wear so well
i was forged under a mountain
you were formed in philosopher's mind
and we will stand the test
oh, and the wear of time
you're a car, i am a freight train
you were sitting there in my path
and there's no going back
you're already on my tracks
yeah, i will watch your end
from the front of this engine
i dont wanna wait
i don't wanna wait here for forever
dreaming about her face
i can't take the days
i'm struggling at this train station waiting
wondering what will be
while you're dead on the tracks
and i know in my heart of hearts
you're not coming back
and thats ok.
you were taking me the long way
and i was breathing just to hear you breathe
yeah, i am lost without
a love i havent felt
now its tired and bleed
a little blood on the tracks once more
yeah, history's no fun.
it waits for no one.
two more, i've taken
steps on the edges
poised on the mountain
waiting to watch you fall.
