[Verse 1] You keep your silence, a sharp and quiet blade, So proud and distant, with a frost inside your chest. All of the past is redeemed by tears we made, And why must you be anything different than the rest? [Chorus] Happiness can never stay too long, Nothing lasts forever in the light. While there is time, we must keep moving on, Knowing how to say goodbye to our delight. [Verse 2] Just like before, I think a different way, Why and for what am I indebted unto you? And how much more within that greedy cry to stay, Do I still cherish every single thing we knew? [Chorus] Happiness can never stay too long, Nothing lasts forever in the light. While there is time, we must keep moving on, Knowing how to say goodbye to our delight. [Bridge] Oh, no! You are no miser hoarding up regret, By right, it all belongs to me, every single tear. It’s just because I’m lonely, comfortless and set, Because the memory holds something far too dear. [Chorus] Happiness can never stay too long, Nothing lasts forever in the light. While there is time, we must keep moving on, Knowing how to say goodbye to our delight. [Outro] Knowing how to say goodbye... While there is time. [Fade Out]
