This time it's goodbye, dear
Loving you the way I do

“You're the one who's nearly
Breaking my heart;
Had your chance
You just threw it all away.
Living in a world that
You could never be a part of,
And now is a time to walk away.”

it opens your heart,
everything is new.
And you know time will always find a way
to let your heart believe it's true.”

Song lyrics, Amarantine (2005)

“What you want if you're asking that question is a specific time in your life to come back to you, and that will never happen. You will never be 15 years old again. I could write, verbatim, another Take This To Your Grave, and you won't feel the same way. It's not going to mean anything to you because it wouldn't mean anything to me.”

Patrick Stump (1984) American musician
