I can feel the cold
It shivers down my spine
I'm walking through
Fading away times
You gave me your hand
Said it all be ok
Can a lover be a friend
Or will you soon fade away?
Like those beautiful days
You'd give it all to make them stay
But the past is past
Never meant to last
Let the trumpets play
For the last time here
Celebrate each day
Every loving thought and tear
Turn water into wine
Let the guards go to rest
The last dance will be mine
It will be my way best
Watch me swaying along
Like when we still had a blast
But the past is past
Never meant to last
I fell in love
I fell in love
With melancholy
Oh, the past is past
Never meant to
The end is near
The horizon's turnin' black
Yet there is no fear
And we're never coming back
What is said is said
Look at what we used to have
We've built mountains of dreams
Now it's cold facts instead
Our fire went out
Way to fast
And the past is past
Never meant to last
And can it be that in a world so full and busy
I fell
The loss of one creature makes a void so wide and deep
I fell
That nothing but the width and depth of eternity can fill it up
I fell in love
With melancholy
Melancholy
Let it go, let it go
No holding on to a ghost
Let it go now, let it go
Keep this chapter closed
Cause the past is past
It was never meant to last
