Analysis of What Stands Left
My beautiful friend
My most precious friend
My sweetest friend
We memoralize
But hardly remember
What stands left
Remants of the past
We find each other
Each suprised
We never loved again
In some stragers arms
I lack the lack of love for you
I can not concieve the idea
Why I am kept from you
We are still lost in each other
Something that should, but isn't
Forgetting the pain, the hurt
Without us
We'll never be the same
Find your own way
Into my mind
Then you'll see
We must follow our hearts
Move west with the sun
In the heat of the day we can not see
So we set, in the night
Ourselves, in it we'll be
With what stands left
