[Verse 1]
There's a moment in time, and it's stuck in my mind
Way back, when we were just kids
’Cause your eyes told the tale of an act of betrayal
I knew that somebody did

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, waves of time
Seem to wash away the scenes of our crimes
For you, this never ends

[Chorus]
Can you stay strong? Can you go on?
Kristy, are you doing okay?
A rose that won't bloom, winter's kept you
Don't waste your whole life trying to get back what was taken away

[Verse 2]
Though the marks on your dress had been neatly repressed
I knew that something was wrong
And I should've spoke out, and I'm so sorry now
I didn't know, ’cause we were so young

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, clouds of time
Seem to rain on innocence left behind
It never goes away
