It was the last time we lost a fight without you 

And finally now you understand 

This was the dream and answer 

Never stop this 

All i wanted was you by my side 

Those were true days 

I watched them fall away 

These boards will break 

These boards will break against my ribs 

We've shown ourselves 

With our pride atrophied 

A virtue burns hot enough to cauterize 

These boards will break 

Those were the days 

I watched them fall away 

I don't blame the last step in the sequence 

It was your way 

So many times we cursed your name 

And i do not say i hold no regrets when i close my eyes 

Just think of the things we could have done 

I've shown myself 

With our pride atrophied 

I hope you know we always loved you 

Forgive me for all the things 

Even though i watched us fall away 

With determination we all mist live on 

We've all learned things from those days 

I know that we all have grown 

Even I now feel a calm like i have never known
