I know it's been a long time. You've lost that look in your eye. The one that told me everything was fine without a word. But now we're standing face to face, with nothing left to say but goodbye to yesterday.

I don't know if I can make it. I don't know if I'm that strong. I don't know where we went wrong but somehow it's over. In my mind I see you clearly. In my dreams I feel you near me. I want to know, does this feeling go away?

Like shooting stars we shine and then we fade, breaking the promises we made. What about the promises? What about the promises we made? What about our plans for forever? Did they scare you? Did you need to get away?

You taught me many things. Like how it feels to miss someone so bad it feels like a part of you is missing. I can tell you one thing. Now that you have gone I never will forget you. You left your mark.

When I have gone and you've moved on will you remember me?

    "You taught me many things. Like how it feels to miss someone so bad it feels like a part of you is missing."

    This says it all! Cauterize is simply amazing! Check out their earlier stuff they did as T.O.E. (Take Off Eh!)

    It's really strange no more people have commented on this song, I absolutely adore it although the voice is a bit too teenage but its still really pritt. i heart it, i thought it would have a larger audience 'cause of Eurotrip. It's obvious what this is about, it's about how a relationship ended and the persons reaction to it. My fav is just the first verse, its gold xx

    Yeah this song is one of the best from cauterize, even tough that all their song are about relationships and break up. My favorite line "I don't know if I can make it. I don't know if I'm that strong" that´s exactly how you feel when a relationship that you tough that was the best, ends. Pure pain and regrests. Nevermind this song rocks.
