Lyrics

The tangled woods are swallowing me whole
as I pursue you in your wake
I have no solid ground beneath my toes
but the alternative I just can't face

that you're not coming back for me
the worst thing that could happen is happening

What once was will never be again
It's like a dream I wish I'd never had
and I can't pretend it's as if you never existed
Will it ever be, will it ever be again

I thought you were unreachable to me
the first time I saw your face
but then impossible became reality
and from that moment my life was changed

But you're not coming back for me
Impossible, once again reality

(chorus)

I made a promise, to you a promise
that I wouldn't do anything reckless
but if it brings you back to me
if it brings you back to me
maybe a little reckless is forgivable

If what once was could somehow be again
like a dream that never has to end
I won't pretend it's as if you never existed
Can it ever be, can it ever be again
can it ever be, can it ever be again
