Clockwork

I hear them say
(They say that you were never real)
You look at me
(And whisper bliss into my ear)
So they say
(They say that time will always heal)
But look at me
(And ask me how I really feel)

I can't stop time!
I can't relive my past!
I’m left with a vacant memory
Of how my life is moving way too fast

Turn back

It's just like clockwork (clockwork)
Watch me kiss my youth goodbye (goodbye)
All I wanted was to turn back time (to turn back time)

The time lays waste to ashes
My soul lays waste the broken mind

The time lays waste to ashes
My soul lays waste the broken mind

Turn back

It's just like clockwork (clockwork)
Watch me kiss my youth goodbye (goodbye)
All I wanted was to turn back time (to turn back time)

(I'm begging on my knees!)
Turn back! Turn back
(Oh, won't you spare me please!)
I’m pleading! I’m grieving!
I can't fulfill my eternity
(Eternity please, let me be)
(Just let me live again)

Turn back

It's just like clockwork (clockwork)
Watch me kiss my youth goodbye
All I wanted was to turn back time

We'll say our goodbyes
Then slowly lay down to die
Our lives like clockwork
Another second simply flies on by
Goodbye!

And now they'll say!
They'll say that I was never real
(Forgotten life!)
A song that no one sang again
(And I will be)
A memory that will never heal
(I turn to God)
She whispers bliss into my ear

It's just like clockwork
Just let me go (let me go)

The time lays waste to ashes
My soul lays waste the broken mind
