In forty seconds we both know that it's over
I look back I see you close the door
We both saw this day from a hundred miles away
But we're beautiful for half a minute more
In thirty seconds all our sniffles turns to silence
So my footsteps echo on your floor
'Cause you only need to cry when it hurts too much to try
We've decided we aren't trying anymore
Tick tick tick goes any good thing
Forever is a diamond lie
We can't stop the clock so let's just talk
Until our heartbeats rhyme
Until we're out of time
In eighteenth months both of us are laughing
In the loving arms of somebody new
And you stumble across my name, but it doesn't sound the same
Just a person that you once knew
In one minute I am crying in my Hyundai
With my hands at ten and four
Hindsight ends up golden, so I'm holding out that one day
The memories won't hurt me anymore
Tick tick tick goes any good thing
Forever is a diamond lie
We can't stop the clock so let's just talk
Until our heartbeats rhyme
Until we're out of time
And if we aged backward, then we might've been alright
'Cause it took you to turn me to someone you'd like
And if you believe that fate brought us together
You must believe that it tore us apart
But I do not believe, that we live in a machine
I think the ticking that you're hearing is a heart
Tick tick tick goes any good thing
Forever is a diamond lie
We can't stop the clock so let's just talk
Until our heartbeats rhyme
Until we're out of time
