I've found out a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
and the reason is you...

So don't close the door
On what still can be
Cause you're so much more
Than a memory

How'd I fall so far, now no one can find me
There's nothing behind me, to take me back to start
Can someone remind me, of who that I used to be?
I can't seem to wake up from this dream
I can't catch my breath enough to scream
Be careful what you wish for
'Cause your wishes may not be what they seem

Show me what it's for
Make me understand it
I've been crawling in the dark looking for the answer
Is there something more than what I've been handed?
I've been crawling in the dark looking for the answer

Help me carry on
And show me it's okay to use my heart and not my eyes
To navigate the darkness
Will the ending be ever coming suddenly?
Will I ever get to see the ending to my story?

There's much more for us to see -
A brand new day for you and me,
And with confidence I say, «we're better than ever».
And I don't know where this will lead,
But in my life you need to be,
Cause I need to say, «hello again».
I'm so afraid that if I wait too long,
You'll never look in my eyes again,
With a look that gave me strength and gave me hope
And made me feel I've inspired.

No pictures, no letters
Nothing can ever replace you.
Reminders, whatever
Nothing can ever replace you.
You've stripped away and uncovered the real me.

Years from now
Memories
Will fill our minds with images
Of how good it used to be
So why don't we
Seize this day
Capture all the moments
Before time takes them away

The whole world's racing by
And no words can describe how this feels inside
You need to be here, you need to be here with me.
They come and go so fast, these moments never last
So you need to be here, you need to be here with me.

It's something new and beyond every corner is a mystery
Cause every road that I've taken
Can never be mistaken for the one that now is under my feet.
And I realize with open eyes
Every second that we have is once in a lifetime, once in a lifetime.

So goodbye, my friend.
Until we meet again,
Some other day.
I know so much will change.
But looking back I can say,
I wouldn't change a day.
I hope you can say the same.
That you understand,
The only life we have,
Is here and now,
Not up in the clouds.
With every breath we can say,
It is a brand new day.

With eyes closed tightly,
I march so blindly.
Pretending everything's fine,
'Cause you're there to keep me in line.
I don't want your guidance,
I'll break my silence.
So sick of asking and being denied and now I realize.
We're holding the key, to unlock our destiny,
We were born to lead.
We're finally free, no longer following,
We were born to lead... we were born to lead.

All of the dreams we built up from the ground
They never believed them they just tore them down
We will rebuild them from the start, we will rebuild them from the heart.

I run away
Through the dark and empty space
Where the wind will erase your memory
Here in the black there is no turning back
It's the only place where I can get away.
