Reflect against a mirror of yesterday
Laughter we shared, a moment of clarity
The best ones you know, the first ones to go
So think back, look deep within, don't let the burden suck you in
I know there are times we question reasoning
The best ones you know, the first ones to go
And now we're grown up, we forgot all we had to say
Like sand running through our hands, eroding days away
Against a window of yesterday
Drama we shared, wouldn't change a thing
The best ones you know, the first ones to go
In the end tragedy closes in
Stealing young lives before they even begin
And taking old lives that need to be read
The best ones you know, the first ones to go
We won't forget times that were shared, the memories remain
We won't forget times were shared, the knowledge engrained
So flick through old photographs, remember the lives that have come to pass
Holding back the year that come so fast
As the tears roll down your face
The pain of seeing your love laid waste
This is not in vain, we will not forget
Now we're grown up, we forgot all we had to say
Like sand through our hands, eroding days away
We won't forget times that were shared, the memory embraced
Laughter we shared, a moment of clarity
The best ones you know, the first ones to go
So think back, look deep within, don't let the burden suck you in
I know there are times we question reasoning
The best ones you know, the first ones to go
And now we're grown up, we forgot all we had to say
Like sand running through our hands, eroding days away
Against a window of yesterday
Drama we shared, wouldn't change a thing
The best ones you know, the first ones to go
In the end tragedy closes in
Stealing young lives before they even begin
And taking old lives that need to be read
The best ones you know, the first ones to go
We won't forget times that were shared, the memories remain
We won't forget times were shared, the knowledge engrained
So flick through old photographs, remember the lives that have come to pass
Holding back the year that come so fast
As the tears roll down your face
The pain of seeing your love laid waste
This is not in vain, we will not forget
Now we're grown up, we forgot all we had to say
Like sand through our hands, eroding days away
We won't forget times that were shared, the memory embraced
