halfway through
Reconcile Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

"I guess this is goodbye" was the best thing I could say. those days are burnt, and your face wasn't enough to make me stay in a world that's falling apart. made my mind and packed my bags, and last time was the last time ever, cause I'm gone. I won't return or ever look back at a world that's falling apart. set my goal and off I stride. forget my name, this time I'm gone for good. forget my face, the best thing you could do. forget my name. (no need to ask me why) we all have reasons for the things we do. I won't come back. I left most things behind, there was nothing anyway. no passion, no challenge. I'm somewhere else seeking, searching, looking for truths. your world is falling apart. I'm halfway through leaving it all behind. don't try to pull me back, it just won't work this time. we won't come back. it's time for you to let me go. once again I turn my back on you. once and for all
