8:43 Letra

and now as I hold it in my hands
I know that time is at its end
and soon this will slip away
Only pieces of what was before remain intact
each with their stories adding up to the whole
We fight to hold on to what we've got left
As the memories like shards of glass cut into our hands

No! I know! The time has come for you to go
But, I wish! On everything that you could stay
‘Cause, I can't! Bare to watch you walk away
Please! come back! come back! come back to me

This time has meant so much to me
Has it meant something less to you?
I've been thinking of us this entire time
I wonder if this thought has crossed your mind

When all good things fade to their ends
I will hold you close and pretend
that nothing changes
and everything is in this moment
That everything is in this moment
That everything in this moment is forever
That this moment is everything
Everything

This moment stands in front of me
like a crystalline statue
It's so precious so beautiful
and now as I hold it in my hands
I feel it slip out of my grasp

and see it shatter into pieces
scattered across the floor
I can't piece it back together anymore
As the memories, like shards of glass cut into my hands
