The City Pt. II

It was the first time I saw you since I left
Illness had changed you and you were under the weather
But you were still how I remembered
Still vibrant, shining and towering

Everything I built in your hands
It wasn't there when I saw you again
You had crushed it as I left
You had crushed it as I left

Each structure feels like an empty shell
A closed-off destination with which once I had the key
Here, I was once a part of
But now you don't know me
I'm a visitor to your life
No, I cannot stay the night

Your map is a museum of a time where I looked up from the ground and danced at night
But now you are too distant for me to touch
Like a dream of old
Where everything is in place but I'm not really there
I'm just remembering
Fragments of our time are flashing by each entrance but everything is blocked
I'd loved to see you again as it once was
Where your lights had danced following me in the night
I looked into one of your windows and I could see people in that light
And I remember what I look like on this sidewalk

And I know I should be happier
But I really like to achieve
And I miss what I had made
With nothing but a dream
And I know I should be happier
But I really like to achieve
And I miss what I had made
With nothing but a dream
