[Lee]
You cannot win the long, hard race with time
With burdens borne on you, you cannot rise
And what you’ve loved you cannot recognize
When it’s after, all that mattered

The moth cannot be as before cocooned
The mermaid cannot but dream that she flew
I cannot see in you the boy I knew
So long after, does it matter?

You cannot wish the genie back to life
You can’t erase the bad times from your mind
Sometimes the hero does not come in time
Only after it doesn’t matter

You and I, it was the sweetest life
You wore a different scent, with different eyes which I admired
You weren’t the girl you are before you died
So long ago flew, do I know you?

I cannot love you in the way you want
You are simply not the boy I loved
In the end change takes us all apart
It comes and scatters all that matters
I cannot keep the boy I held so tight
I couldn’t know our dream would take our lives
I wish for you a better life this time
Our love lies scattered
Lost in tatters
It once so mattered
