Time Machine
ARHEX Lyrics

Broken promises
Promises that were not kept

Oh they just haunt me
Still feeling the pain of unkept promises

I'm locked inside
Trapped by past events

These feelings can't be free
Unable to let go of the emotions connected to the unkept promises

We were happy
Everything seemed great

Maybe that was just me
Perhaps the singer was the only one who thought things were great

All I can remember
Only the memories of those happy times remain

Is how you promised me
The unkept promises are the only thing that matter now

You said that you'd be here
A promise of future presence

But why I'm here alone
The artist is left without that presence

I wasted everything
Invested everything into the relationship

Now I got nothing
Lost everything in the end

Oh time is all I have
Only thing left is time

But you took it again
The other person took that time away

Now I'm here wishing
Regretting that investment and waiting for a change

For a time machine
A metaphorical device to change the past

Take, take, take me back
Asking to be taken back to those happier times

If we didn't meet on that pretty day
Contemplating alternate realities

Would we have fallen
Asking if the relationship could have been avoided

In love it ends up this way
Reflecting on the negative outcome of the relationship

Don't apologize
Not looking for apologies

Just tell me why
Looking for an explanation

Broken promise
Reiteration of the key issue

Ooo I need a time machine
Again referencing the metaphorical device for changing the past

Something I can rewind all these scenes
A mechanism for looking back and changing the course of events

Take them all from my memory
A desire to erase painful memories

Play rewind and then restart
A call to be able to redo the relationship with a different outcome
