lyrics

Struggling against the bindings of time
(Watching as one by one you die.)
Swept away in a flood of activity
(Forgetting what's really important)
Was it the money?
Was it the status?
Or the ones that held you thru it all
Stood by you in your wretchedness

No longer want these chains to bind me
Need time for my relationships
Bleeding heart I'm missing them
People, you make life all worth it.

Need to balance work and play
(Feel our lives slipping away)
Is that your fault or mine?
(Is there anyone to blame?)
Are we caught in an endless cycle?
In our fight to survive?
Losing loved ones over and over
I'm desperate to find more time

No longer want these chains to bind me
Need time for my relationships
Bleeding heart I'm missing them
People, you make life all worth it.

Will you regret the days,
You could have spent with me?
Will you look back and think?
What have I been doing?
Responsibilities grew
Quietly withdrew
Impossible to be there if your
Constantly working instead?
So isolated repeat the cycle of solitude and regret

All this time has filled me with regret
For the time I've wasted doing
Something meaningless
I should have spent it with you

Just that quick she was taken away from me
A rude awakening a sad terrible day
No more hearing her laughing with me
No new happy memories
And it will happen again
One by one we will pass away

Time is running out hurry it’s not to late
Calling out to my companions
I refuse to be too busy to say
I love you dearly
I truly miss you
Time is running out hurry it's not too late.

One By one you die
One by one you die
