You fall apart each time you start to say goodbye
But there is nobody watching (nobody watching)
You watch your grip, you step and slip but don't know why
And this is just the beginning (just the beginning)
You had the hopes to make it last, it's moving fast
And now you're realizing (realizing)
That in the past the dreams you had make people feel
Like you were just reciting (just reciting)
Bathing in the afterglow
A chance at luck and pride
Where we end up we can never know
And all I know is we seem to be
Changing
Better to turn and walk away
Fading
All these lights just turn to grey
Changing
Better to turn and walk away
But the strange thing
Is that I don't feel a thing
This is an act, stop holding back the things you lost
Cannot replace what's missing (replace what's missing)
And from the start you played the part and now your heart's
Become a great deception
Bathing in the afterglow
A chance at luck and pride
When we end up we can never know
All I know is we seem to be
Changing
Better to turn and walk away
Fading
All these lights just turn to grey
Changing
Better to turn and walk away
But the strange thing
Is that I don't feel a thing
One last breath to say goodbye
I tell myself another lie
Stripped of all I hold so dear
The moment's lost and I am sinking down lower
I drown myself in the water
And I am watching my life pass before my eyes
It comes as no surprise
You fall apart and then you stop
x3
Changing
Better to turn and walk away
Fading
All these lights just turn to grey
Now I'm changing
Better to turn and walk away
But the strange thing
Is that I don't feel a thing
You fall apart and then you stop
x3

i think this song is about a relationship changing for the worse but he just cant break it off even though he knows its not good for him to keep going on this way.
The first part is, "You fall apart each time you start to say goodbye" And its "Cannot replace what's missing (replace what's missing)"
this also could be about friendship, people change and sometimes its too hard to let them go so you just keep staying friends with them. idk. thats what I thought of.
"And from the start you played the part and now your heart's Become a great deception"
in the cd booklet it says:
"And from the start you played the part and now your art's Become a great deception"
Fantastic song, fantastic band. I think this song is about how oneself is changing. For better or the worse, who knows. And everyone around perhaps wants you to be someone or something that your not. It's better to turn and walk away.
