Relationship Built On Ruins

They say time heals all wounds
And if that sayings true
How come time hasn't repaired
The damage left by you.

A relationship built on ruins
It was never meant to last
But often at times I think
That it went by way too fast.

If life came with a rewind button
I'd use it just to see you
Make every second together count
I'd never want to leave you.

But when that time was over
I'd fast forward back to now
Think about where we went wrong
And quietly ask myself how.
