In a Heartbeat

Just a few heartbeats

One, two

Is only what it takes for things to break


In a blink of an eye

The years go by

Things die

Things change

People come and people go

Without letting you know


Some things are fixed

Some things are left broken

Some others, just like they never existed, are replaced


We breathe happiness

Well surrounded and filled with love

But dear,

Time slips away

Hearts turn to stone

Eyes cry

Feelings become numb

While souls die

And minds go insane

All it takes is just a second

One second

For it to all fall

Yet we still on making the same mistake

We focus on the uninteresting

Then we cry on what our hearts claim only when it's gone


Friendship, family, love

We think they are eternal

Or at least we convince ourselves it is

Until it leaves our hearts to stay in our memories

Bittersweet memories

That remind us what we had

And that we didn't took the time to appreciate

Then the storm of regret shows up

For all those precious moments we lost

For all those priceless people we loved


No one knows how much time still remains

Before it's too late

Before it all goes away

Maybe we still have years, months, days left...

Or just a few heartbeats

One, two
