Is It Gone? - Forever Still

Though sadness lies behind our eyes

At times we let it go

But never let it show

Will this sacrifice be my demise?

And will you ever know

How the world has lost its glow?

Though the pain had gone

I’m leading it on tonight

Tempting it with pieces of my past

When we’re frail, we run

Before they can shine a light

How much longer will this winter last?

Is it gone if I just smile?

Is it gone if I forget it for a while?

I say I’m fine, too much is on the line

It’s only gone if i let it go

Sometimes our dreams aren’t what they seem

They come in shades of grey

How dark is hard to say

One day you’ll look up and see the clock

That ticks your life away

And take on another day

I catch myself repeating another smile

Only ever meant for fake displays

And I try to tell

That it’ll be worth my while

Worth the tracks repeating on face

Is it gone if I just smile?

Is it gone if I forget it for a while?

I say I’m fine, too much is on the line

It’s only gone if i let it go

Go

It’s only gone

When I realise there’s nothing I can do

And let it go

'Till the strings are pulled by you

Is it gone if I don’t cry?

Is it gone if I forgive?

Is it gone if I just smile?

Is it gone if I forget it for a while?

I say I’m fine, too much is on the line

It’s only gone if i let it go see less
