Brand new air (DEEP V)

Why did I try, if it didn't matter?
I built it up, just to see it shatter
I chased it down, far enough, and then some
Stripped my fears, though I didn't see 'em
Lost my ground, lost my mind
I spoke to you, you didn't care to find
When I complained, you turned away
Left me behind, not a word to say

Time passes, let it pass
Through the dawn, the day, the night, the glass
Now that it's over, don't hold me back
Don't ask of me, don't keep me on track
Don't stop me now, don't steal my flare
Let me breathe in my brand new air

Time goes by, the wounds they heal
We rebuild our strength, we make it real
I found my path, I remade my soul
Left behind your happy ever after goal
Now I'm breathing, living in my peace
Obsolete desires, I've found release
When I look aside, I see you standing there
Staring at me, caught in a ghost of a prayer
Remembering that promise of a happy end
Taste of regret, a bitter trend

I did so much, you did nothing at all
Or maybe you did too much, just to see me fall
But now it's my turn, not looking back
Today is my time, my peace is on track
Now you're coming, against my flow
Just to prove what I already know
Some people are stories we used to tell
And some are just lessons we learned too well

Time passes, let it pass
Through the dawn, the day, the night, the glass
Now that it's over, don't hold me back
Don't ask of me, don't keep me on track
Don't stop me now, don't steal my flare
Let me breathe in my brand new air
