Metronome (Piano Version)

Well if fate said we'd be friends
If it knew all along that we'd be like this
Then why did it end?

Then I see how life tricked me
And I realize our pain was part of fate too
We were never meant to be

Always

I dreamed again of things I can't have
Just being the fool I am
And so we tortured one another
And we hurt each other

Just saying words I knew would break you
I couldn't even miss you
Well now you know, I let you go, before the regret came
I was weak and so afraid

No matter what the time of day
What I try to throw away
In the end I'll find myself breaking and calling out your name

No matter how I'm hating you
My mind still thinks of you
And the things that I thought but never said
But I wish that you'd laugh at me instead

Everything's so grey nowadays
Any life that I live is feeling pointless
Since you've gone away

Everything's just gone back in time
We just went to the place before we both met
Yet I'm still wondering why

Surely

We'd both become like little metronomes
And going on in the same tone
Our tempos swung along and stayed the same
Going on for everyday

Then bit by bit, before I could think
We grew apart and lost sync
The time went on, your love was gone, before I could comprehend
We just couldn't stop the end

Where will we be from here on out?
Will I live with all these doubts?
Will you fade within my heart, and cease the grief I sing about?

No matter how you hated me
How happy you will be
I don't wish you'd forget you loved me
'Cause I know in my heart, you'll always be

Just passing by the truth and lies
Our backs are turned despite how hard we had tried
Walking along, gradually moving out of sight

If once again our tempos then
Could match like when we lived as only best friends
Maybe just then, in a new life of things said
Could we meet and love once again?

No matter what the time of day
What I try to throw away
In the end I'll find myself a fool and love you anyways

No matter how I'm hating you
My mind still thinks of you
And the things that I thought but never said
But I wish that you'd laugh at me instead

In a life after this, we'll meet again
