Ten Thousand Years

TEN THOUSAND YEARS:

Can I sing you a lullaby?
My final melody?
My last song to be sung?
Oh, why is it that only the good die young?

Do you recall
When I first met you?
Said you would never break my heart
Would never tear it apart
But I will never forget
My heart that you crushed
And it lays broken inside of me

Chorus:
And you’ve had so many chances
Too many times
And I’ve cried ten thousand years
But not a day passed by
And I've lived a million lifetimes
But you can’t save the unsaveable
Cause it’s like I'm screaming
But no one can hear
It’s like I'm crying
But no one can see
It’s like I'm dying
But no one is jumping to save me
Cause you can’t save the unsaveable

You have so much ahead
But I've reached a dead end
I can’t keep bringing you down
You’ve got to rise above
Cause you can’t fix the broken
Only tape it together momentarily

I could live for forever
But never feel alive
And I could fight for forever
But barely survive
Cause broken hearts last forever

Chorus:
And you’ve had so many chances
Too many times
And I’ve cried ten thousand years
But not a day passed by
And I've lived a million lifetimes
But you can’t save the unsaveable
Cause it’s like I'm screaming
But no one can hear
It’s like I'm crying
But no one can see
It’s like I'm dying
But no one is jumping to save me
Cause you can’t save the unsaveable

You can’t save the unsaveable
You can’t fix the broken
Yeah, cause broken hearts last forever
And mine lays broken inside of me
