I can't believe we're 5 years on from my last version of this cover! The amount of support I've got for this song over the years means so much to me. I know you have enjoyed my original lyrics, so hopefully you enjoy these updated lyrics just as much (maybe even more!)

Fun fact: I wrote the first draft of these lyrics when I was 14, and I am about to turn 24. Time certainly flies. The interesting thing about the original lyrics is that there is hardly any use of rhyme. I'm not too sure why that is... and I literally only noticed it as I was rewriting the lyrics recently!

XION:
I won't give in, I have to go on
I've nowhere to run and soon I'll be gone
But don't say I was a wasted moment
You stand above me, I'm not your opponent
It's too late for me to undo my mistakes

Falling and fading into forgotten memory
I'll be waiting right here 'till you return to me
Please don't be sad, there is still so much more at stake
Soon you'll see me again, I will wait for you no matter how long it will take

AXEL:
They say it's for the best, I know they're lying
And they won't care that our friendship is dying
I want to keep you safe, please don't turn away
I've lost your trust and I've led us astray
Oh, I'm so sorry....

ROXAS:
Someone please, I don't know where I am or where I'm going
Who are you? It's all a blur...
I just know that I'm forgetting something so important
Who was she? Did I know her?

ALL:
Hold on to me, don't ever leave me
When we come home, we'll share a sea salt ice cream
Don't say we were a wasted memory
You made a promise, you'd always come save me
But for now I'll wait
I'll trust that 'till we reunite, he'll keep us safe inside his heart

ROXAS:
Don't we deserve our happy end?
Can we live on? No longer pretend?
Maybe someday we'll have hearts of our own...
