After all is said and done
Time will wait no more
Have not the strength to carry on
Light grows cold
Steals away the life in me
Cold with this uncertainty
Forgive me

I can't wait a lifetime
Won't let this child die within my heart
I can't wait a lifetime
Don't let it slip away
Don't let it slip away
From me

In the end I had to turn
Hurt to see you cry
Beneath the skin the prison lies
Love the only crime
Do I unlock the life in me
Or ride the storm eternally
Forgive me

I can't wait a lifetime
Won't let this child die within my heart
I can't wait a lifetime
Don't let it slip away
Don't let it slip away
From me
