Nine Years

Nine years of empty promises
Turned at once into nine years of broken memories
Ashes of words and songs
Covered the altar of lonesomeness

Broken promises and dusty web of lies
Empty oaths and shattered nights of desperate cries

I will heal and rise again
Gather all the broken pieces in one
I will rise and fly again
To see the world and meet my love
So pure, so naive thoughts
But the only thing I have is this hope

You see the shadow of me
I see the light beneath
You broke a memory
I used to believe in
You torn apart my heart and soul
Like one did so long ago
But believe me it won’t happen once more
