Split-Second Eternity - The Smell of Roses

A long time ago
When we started down this road
I wanted to give
You the entire world
I got so wrapped up in bettering
That I missed all the precious little things

If only I could go and
Turn back the hands of time
And savor the sweet smell of
Roses that passed us by
I look back and I'm faced with the truth
I let you
Down

Well I tried so hard to be your biggest hero
And only became a complete stranger on the go
I traded the moment for a much brighter
Tomorrow that would never come

If only I could go and
Turn back the hands of time
And savor the sweet smell of
Roses that passed us by
I will try to make it up
If it takes the rest of my life
I look back and I'm faced with the truth
I let you
Down

When it's time for you
To go and choose
Don't follow this fool

If only I could go and
Turn back the hands of time
And savor the sweet smell of
Roses that passed us by
I will try to make it up
If it takes the rest of my life
I look back and I'm faced with the truth
I let you
I look back and I'm faced with the truth
I let you
Down
