[Verse 1]

These are the final days, I can feel the corners dim

Light folds in like paper, and the world goes thin

Names fall through my hands now, faces drip like rain

Rooms I swore I'd die inside don’t even look the same

I remember smoke and summer, I remember winter glass

I remember all the worst of me, and how the worst things pass

I remember dirty highways, hospital lights, and home

I remember bеing young enough to think I'd never go

[Pre-Chorus]

Thе good, the bad, the ugly too

They come like mist, then vanish through

I let them pass, I let them fade

I made my peace with what I made

[Chorus]

No regrets - no, almost none

Except for you, forgotten one

The one that got away from time

The one I lost before I died

Your face is gone, your voice is dust

Your shape has fallen outta touch

But something of you still remains

A thought that will not leave my brain

[Verse 2]

I see a flash of something golden right before it disappears

A porch light in the evening, or laughter in my ears

Maybe you were standing in it, maybe you had turned

Maybe love was just a fire too far away to stir

I do not curse the road I took, the wounds, the wars, the cost

I have worn my failures honestly and counted what I lost

I do not ask for mercy now, I do not ask for more

But there is one soft absence waiting somewhere past the door

[Pre-Chorus 2]

I cannot pull your name to shore

It slips away, then slips once more

Yet in the dark, before the end

I know I loved you once back then

[Chorus]

No regrets - no, almost none

Except for you, forgotten one

The one that got away from time

The one I lost before I died

Your face is gone, your voice is dust

Your shape has fallen outta touch

But something of you still remains

A thought that will not leave my brain

[Bridge]

Was it your hand

Was it your hair

Was it the way you said my name

Was it the night

Was it the pain

Was it the moment that I changed

[Breakdown]

I cannot hold what I once knew

The world has taken most of you

But not the ache

Not quite the ache

That stayed behind when all else broke

[Final Chorus]

No regrets - no, almost none

Except for you, forgotten one

The last dream flickering at the edge

The last light leaning from the ledge

Your face is gone, your voice is lost

Your body blurred by time and frost

But still I feel what once was true

Though I can't remember you

[Outro]

These are the final days

And memory goes strange

The good, the bad, the ugly fade

But love leaves one last stain

I do not know your face

I do not know your name

Only that once

Before the dark

You were the flame

And I remained
