Six seconds is all that it takes
To widen the space between our mistakes
I'm watching the colours fade around me
And here I am again, and again and again

You say that it's much too easy
That we've been here too many times before
But know this as I'm leaving
There's no safety net to catch me as I fall

10,000 times you look my way
10,000 times I'd feel the same
10,000 smiles you know I'll fake 
For 10,000 days

Eighty give and twenty take
The formula for my mistake
But one divided by a two is still one half
And if I hold it back we'll see how long we last

10,000 times you look my way
10,000 times I'd feel the same
10,000 smiles you know I'll fake 
For 10,000 days
10,000 thoughts I'd never say
10,000 ways to shift the blame
10,000 hurts I can't erase 
For 10,000 days

But my most hated of old friends is time
He comes my way to steal away these hurts of mine
Today like yesterday I feel the same
When all I'd need would really be 10,000 days

To forget you.
