Unaware that something was in the air
Floating around us and slowly surrounding us whole

Was it a second, a day or a year
When you began to disappear?
Do you remember the moment?
You started to know it was done

With a whimper, not a bang
Not a lion, but a lamb
We just withered and died, like a lily outside in the cold
And through Rome wasn't built in a day
It longer still to decay
Slowly but surely, your brain it just blurred me away

The chains were strained, and slowly your passion waned
We once talked all night, now we don't even fight anymore

At first I thought you needed space
But I was already being erased
The sole resolution, a foregone conclusion, it's done

With a whimper, not a bang
Not a lion, but a lamb
We just withered and died, like a lily outside in the cold
And through Rome wasn't built in a day
It longer still to decay
Slowly but surely, your brain it just blurred me away

Aim your soul, follow where you must go
And I'll follow mine through the tangle of vines in the night

So this is the way that it ends
A half-hearted promise to always be friends
A glance at the floor, then you walk out the door to your life

With a whimper, not a bang
Not a lion, but a lamb
We just withered and died, like a lily outside in the cold
And through Rome wasn't built in a day
It longer still to decay
Slowly but surely, your brain it just blurred me away
Oooh
