De/Vision Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Every time I'm leaving I try to hide the feeling
That this could be our last good-bye
Every now and then I wish that I could just rewind
And fix all my broken memories
Replay forgotten melodies
Every tune that slipped my mind
If this is real
Or if it's just a dream?
Bye bye bye
A brief moment is all we have
Before our bones are laid to rest
Bye bye bye
This brief moment was all we had
Too many things remained unsaid
How would I know
If this is real
Or if it's just a dream?
Bye bye bye
A brief moment is all we have
Before our bones are laid to rest
Bye bye bye
These memories are all I have
I'll always miss the times we had
