Route: Broken Love

Our remaining time is ticking
the time we have left to be together
so give me one last kiss 
and turn and walk away
truth is my heart screams for you to stop
and turn around 
but the road splits here
the blue road that you have chosen
will guide you to a bright future
a future where I am not with you
so please for your sake
keep walking
and don't look back
please don't forget that
I love you so much
and that this pains me to let you go
but I'll stay here and stare at the deserted dawn

Time is slowly slipping away from us 
lets share this final kiss
the road splits here
our fate has been decided
the white road that I have chosen
leads me to a future 
a lonely future where you are not there
but I will never forget you
even as the dawn approaches
I know this hurts
but please walk away
don't ever forget that 
I love you so much
and that it pains me to see you go
but I'll stay right here and stare at the deserted dawn
