Hours Passed In Exile

Dark Tranquillity

What if some things are destined to failure?

What if some things are never meant to be?

What if someone never sees?

What if someone never opens?

What if somehow we are different?

Though I never claimed to be right

Give to me the benefit of doubt

I brought you fires

That you put out

I brought you fires

For I cannot be without

I came with sadness

But this my shattered heart can't bear

What of the times in exile?

What of the hours passed?

What if touches seem too trivial?

You can never tell me I'm wrong

A song I've heard so long

I brought you fires

That you put out

I brought you fires

For I cannot be without

I came with sadness

But this my shattered heart can't bear

I came in madness

So this my shattered heart can't bear

My shattered heart won't bear

So what if healing takes forever?

So what if time is meant for others?

So what is left is but a shatter

And what is broken can't be whole

What is broken can't be whole again

I brought you fires

That you put out

I brought you fires

For I cannot be without

I came with sadness

But this my shattered heart can't bear
