Through all the way that we've been through
And all the tears that we have spill
There's have left a feeling in me
Something that I couldn't throw away
I tried so hard to purge the demons from my soul
But they are still haunting me
And the pain keeps going on and on
Can't you see?
Now that's all over
All the way
My heart will be with you
Don't you feel?
Now that's all over
All the way
My heart will be with you
All the way
A path o hurting kept us apart
But there's something that we have
That still holds us one
A stronger chain, that keep our souls tied
Through the distance between us
No matter how we try to destroy our mistakes
It will survive on and on, on and on
Can't you see?
Now that's all over
All the way
My heart will be with you
Don't you feel?
Now that's all over
All the way
My heart will be with you
All the way
No one can fill the empty spaces, the void in our souls
Fill the place we can't control, with reason and
freewill
We can't deny the feelings, cause it will just bring
sadness
