it was way too early for the game to stop
there was too much time left oh on the clock
it was far too soon and far too painful
didn't know you'd be spending your future
with the angels
we all knew you had a gift with so many things
and places they would've brought you so many so many
but your plans became just another wish
cause the world turns the way it wants to
i still wish i could leave a message for you for you
now i find myself asking this question for you
how long will they remember me
or is this the only thing they'll say i ever was
just to disappear before tomorrow comes oh
how long will they
remain
or is this the only thing they'll say i ever was
say it ain't so just to disappear before tomorrow comes
oh oh
we try not to go where we've already been
no we don't know where to begin
it was far too early for the lies to dim
there was far too much that we know you could've been
we could react the same way try to fight it
and though our questions are answered with silence
we knew the world would hear you sound
it was just a matter of time yeah
one more flame that got put out
before it had a chance to shine
that this world can make this old news
so i ask this question as if i were you
how long will they remember
how long will they
remember me
remember me oh or is this the only thing they'll say
i ever was just to disappear
before tomorrow comes
how long will they
remember me
or is this the only thing they'll say
i ever was ever say i was just to disappear
before tomorrow comes
far away
you'll never be forgotten
not as long as we're here
you'll never be forgotten
oh
every day of the year
be forgotten
you'll never be forgotten
