Virtues - A Memory Once Forgotten Lyrics

When I lay my eyes
On the one thing that I embrace
I can see what's left of your reckoning
This is what makes me feel alive
The colours that run through
The brightest smile you gave

This is me, seeking love from you
Break my vows, untangle my tongue at last
If I could find you one more time
I'll place my words perfectly
It'll be a new dawn

Start again and begin anew
(Breathe in hope, it's been so long)
Start again and begin anew
(Find a way to pull me out)

Ever since then, I'd just falter every single time I pick myself up
Losing all the patience I had
Time alludes me to be a slave to my heart
Suspended in nature, brushing my skin away bit by bit

Did it have to be this way?
My reflection blinds me
Do you perceive to be worthy of my hope?
The beauty of life
Now turns into something
I can't escape

I lie awake from time to time
I can't sleep through the night
Like the pictures in my head
Are fading away

And I remember it like a dream
That there was nobody else to confide in
When you walked away
