World That Never Was Lyrics by Awake At Last

Mansion of Memories

2012

[Verse]
He had his hand wrapped around his ambition
And she had her eyes on him
He swore to himself this is just a fixation
A relationship built upon sin
[Chorus]
Whatever happens, don't let go of my hand
Save the last dance
Don't you cry‚ I'm by your side
'Cause the lights are fading
I'm way past waiting
The city's praying
For tonight she'll close her eyes
[Verse]
There is a world‚ and I've only seen it in my dreams
Destiny's forgotten me
So girl‚ close your eyes
The darkness has a hold on me
I'm blinded now, I'll never see
I am my own worst enemy
It wasn't meant to be
[Chorus]
Whatever happens, don't let go of my hand
Save the last dance
Don't you cry‚ I'm by your side
'Cause the lights are fading
I'm way past waiting
The city's praying
For tonight she'll close her eyes
So run away
This is the end, there's no reason to stay
So take a bow, let the symphony play
A song while a say so long
'Cause there's a place
And I'll be locked in the darkness for days
But this is where I call my home
I'm home
[Bridge]
And I won't be the one to cast the first stone
I will try to lock myself out of this world
And as the pages burn‚ the hourglasses turn upside down
We're running out of time
[Chorus]
Whatever happens, don't let go of my hand
Save the last dance
Don't you cry when I say goodbye
'Cause the lights are fading
I'm way past waiting
The city's playing
A lullaby, so I'll say goodnight
