I've Lived This Moment Before

Tick… tock…

There it goes again.

The same familiar feeling,

But I don't know when.

(Haven't we been here before?)

I wake up to the same old morning,

The same light through the door.

Someone says the words I'm thinking,

Like I've heard them all before.

There's a shadow in the hallway,

A memory out of place.

I know the way this story ends,

But I can't remember the page.

I see the clock hands turning,

Then moving back again.

Am I living through tomorrow,

Or remembering yesterday?

Every road feels familiar,

Every stranger knows my name.

If I'm making different choices,

Why does nothing ever change?

I've lived this moment before,

I've walked through this very door.

I've heard the words you're saying,

But I don't know anymore.

Am I trapped inside a memory?

Or a story someone wrote?

If every choice belongs to me,

Why can't I change the road?

Round and round, the pages turn,

A thousand lives, the same old pain.

If I break the hands of time tonight,

Will I wake up here again?

(Here again… here again…)

There's a man who feels like home,

With a sadness in his eyes.

He tells me I can choose my path,

But does he recognise the signs?

I remember falling through the darkness,

A bridge beneath the rain.

And every time I reach the ending,

I'm standing here again.

There's a rose beneath my skin,

A star that knows the way.

And a doorway standing open,

But something makes me stay.

Someone knows what's happening,

Someone's hiding what is true.

If tomorrow's just another yesterday,

What am I supposed to do?

I've lived this moment before,

I've walked through this very door.

I've heard the words you're saying,

But I don't know anymore.

Am I trapped inside a memory?

Or a story someone wrote?

If every choice belongs to me,

Why can't I change the road?

Round and round, the pages turn,

A thousand lives, the same old pain.

If I break the hands of time tonight,

Will I wake up here again?

What if I remember everything?

What if I've already tried?

What if every time I reach the truth,

Another part of me has died?

But I won't let them choose my ending,

I won't follow where they lead.

If this story keeps repeating,

Then I'll write a different scene.

(Tick… tock…)

I've lived this moment before,

But I won't walk the same road anymore.

You can turn the clock backwards,

But you can't decide what I'm here for.

Every choice still belongs to me,

Every door is mine to close.

And even if tomorrow brings me back,

There's one thing that I know.

I may have lived a thousand lives,

But this one's mine to claim.

And if the world begins again…

I won't be the same.

Tick… tock…

The clock begins again.

But this time…

I remember.

(I remember…)
