Husk

It seems like yesterday You took my breath away How could the world still turn? We're not what we thought we were Must you be leaving so soon? So soon, so soon Oh, I was just falling for you For you, for you I'm sorry, I'm late, I was ablaze I was just starting on hoping you'd stay Must you be leaving so soon, soon? The death of a century Has sunken its teeth in me How the hands of the clock are beating to death? Our memory I'm older than the man I was when I began What use is breathing in If I'm nothing more than skin? Must you be leaving so soon? So soon, so soon Oh, I was just falling for you For you, for you Now I held my tongue when we were young Holding the horses, but jumping the gun I must be aging now too, too The death of a century Has sunken its teeth in me How the hands of the clock are beating to death? Our memories Must you be leaving so soon? So soon, so soon
