lyrics

As the sun rises and the sun sets
I see the world shaped before my eyes
I live my life with little regrets
Until I think about your little white lies

You tempt me over and over to do your bidding
I simply do it out of compassion
Yet you treat it like nothing, shall I say, I'm not kidding
And after it's done I'm just a part of your fashion

I'm heart broken but not forsaken
Healed
I've been awakened
We'll still be everlonging friends
Because memories are never gone
And I'll always cherish them until the end

I need no explanation for any truth
Since all you give are lies
Growing and grinding me like a cavity in a tooth
Yet when I think of you my heart flies

I only wish that our time could have been longer
Our bond could have been extended to the max
You wouldn't let us get any stronger
Since after all you said we need to relax

I'm heart broken but not forsaken
Healed
I've been awakened
We'll still be everlonging friends
Because memories are never gone
And I'll always cherish them until the end

I must stand strong like the mighty oak tree
And pray and hope my heart won't shatter from the loss
of my precious
Tiger Lily

I'm heart broken but not forsaken
Healed
I've been awakened
We'll still be everlonging friends
Because memories are never gone
And I'll always cherish them until the end
I'm heart broken and not forsaken
Healed
I've been awakened
We'll still be everlonging friends
Because memories are never gone
And I'll always cherish them until the end

Tiger lily
Heart broken but not forsaken
Healed
I've been awakened
'cause memories are never gone
I'll always cherish them until the end
Tiger lily
