"Barriers" lyrics

How long did it take you?
To say that we're all through
I bet you figured out there was no way around that
Lately I can see you all clear
Acting different everytime that you're around
The last time we talked on the phone
Really felt like I talk to somebody unknown
How long did it take you, after all we've been through?
Still addicted to your touch

Hard to remember
All the things that we had done in December
Got a feeling you would never surrender
Had this really been our last goodbye?
Now or never
I really thought that we would go on forever
All we ever did was build up a barrier
Had this really been our last goodbye?

How long did it take you, after all we've been through?
Ever since you left, I'm an emotional wreck, yeah
My heart is in the backseat, when I'm driving through your old street
I'm searching for a feeling that ain't coming back
Our lives were missing the innocence
Knew the disaster was imminent
Do I ever get over this past?
I will surely fall in depression, but you know that ain't my decision
Who could have known that this damn pain would last?

So long my friend
You came in and saved me

Hard to remember
All the things that we had done in December
Got a feeling you would never surrender
Had this really been our last goodbye?
Now or never
I really thought that we would go on forever
All we ever did was build up a barrier
Had this really been our last goodbye?

And you left me broken
All my scars wide open
Sitting here alone and cannot bare this moment
I cannot breathe, I'm choking
On the words unspoken
Going through the motions
Losing all my focus

And you left me broken
I cannot move, I'm paralyzed
All the darkness in my mind
Is taking over me
And I only gonna manage to survive
If I leave those ghosts behind
Black clouds, I'm almost blind
But I can see the light

Hard to remember
All the things that we had done in December
Got a feeling you would never surrender
Had this really been our last goodbye?
Now or never
I really thought that we would go on forever
All we ever did was build up a barrier
Had this really been our last goodbye?

Last goodbye
Goodbye
Bye, bye, goodbye
