from Paradox Prophecy (November 21st 1999) (2:05)
The box is packed and you're so far away
Distant like we've been for many days
That last goodbye, that one last hard embrace
So hard in that light to see the tears on your face
It wasn't anybody's fault and it was everyone to blame
Some place along the line, things just weren't the same
So fifteen years from now, tell me, will I just be a name
The long ride home and the songs on the radio
Just reinforced what you and I already know
The circumstances weighed too heavy for all of this
We must part now because that's just the way it is
It wasn't anybody's fault and it was everyone to blame
I find it hard to realize now I am just a name
In a world, a life apart, I'd love you all the same
Goodbye goodbye, I'll never forget you
Goodbye goodbye, forget me, don't forget me and you
Distant like we've been for many days
That last goodbye, that one last hard embrace
So hard in that light to see the tears on your face
It wasn't anybody's fault and it was everyone to blame
Some place along the line, things just weren't the same
So fifteen years from now, tell me, will I just be a name
The long ride home and the songs on the radio
Just reinforced what you and I already know
The circumstances weighed too heavy for all of this
We must part now because that's just the way it is
It wasn't anybody's fault and it was everyone to blame
I find it hard to realize now I am just a name
In a world, a life apart, I'd love you all the same
Goodbye goodbye, I'll never forget you
Goodbye goodbye, forget me, don't forget me and you
