Two and a Half
I still remember the days I spent protecting you
The days where all I wanted was to keep the grave from you
And to this very day, the memories won't go away
Shaped into your image and I still feel like a fool
Two and a half years have gone so quickly
Lived them for myself, no one else
Those days left terrible scars, I tried to change the world
Those days altered who we are, I tried to change the world
Now here today the scars have all faded away
A new adult formed from the cocoon of those better days
Two souls clung onto life, two souls embracing a knife
The sharp edge carved us to each other, now gone in separate ways
Two and a half years, so much has changed
We're not who we were, but that's just life
Those days I smile upon, when I tried to change the world
Those days I'd never relive, when I tried to change the world
Now that we've lived, we can try
To see better days
