All That Remains – Two Weeks Lyrics

All That Remains · Overcome

Rock

And you neglected, I called you out, "Don't please"
I said, "We're stronger than this now!"
You resurrected mistakes, years past, it seemed...
And they exist to still haunt you!

And still you feel like the loneliness
Is better replaced by this
I don't believe it this way!
And I can see the fear in your eyes
I've seen it materialize
Growing stronger each day!

I could see it as you turned to stone
Still, clearly I can hear you say
"Don't leave, don't give up on me"
Two weeks and you ran away
I remember, don't lie to me
You couldn't see that it was not that way
Swear I never gave up on you

I wanted nothing but for that trust again
And brick by brick, you would take it
You feared of phantoms and none exist but you!
You still saw fit to destroy it!

And still you feel like the loneliness
Is better replaced by this
I don't believe it this way!
And I can see the fear in your eyes
I've seen it materialize
Growing stronger each day!

I could see it as you turned to stone
Still, clearly I can hear you say
"Don't leave, don't give up on me"
Two weeks and you ran away
I remember, don't lie to me
You couldn't see that it was not that way
Swear I never gave up on you

And you neglected, I called you out, "Don't please"
I said, "We're stronger than this now!"
You feared of phantoms and none exist but you!
You still saw fit to destroy it!

And I can see the fear in your eyes
I've seen it materialize
Growing stronger each day!

I could see it as you turned to stone
Still, clearly I can hear you say
"Don't leave, don't give up on me"
Two weeks and you ran away

I could see it as you turned to stone
Still, clearly I can hear you say
"Don't leave, don't give up on me"
Two weeks and you ran away

I remember, don't lie to me,
You couldn't see that it was not that way,
Swear I never gave up on you!
I could see it as you turned to stone,
Still, clearly I can hear you say,
"Don't leave, don't give up on me."
Two weeks and you ran away.
I remember, don't lie to me,
You couldn't see that it was not that way,
Swear I never gave up on you!

It's the story of a relationship destroyed by addiction or depression. Watching someone self destruct and fall away is accurately described in these lyrics.

My ex and I were standing in a tattoo parlous downtown and this song came on, he sang the lyrics while looking at me. I almost started crying because we officially only lasted two weeks.. It's random how accurately it fit, but I love All That Remains! =]

The addiction in the music video is drugs, however, you can find any addiction that fits your life and make this song the sound track to it. It's an excelent song and I give props to the boys that wrote it. It's hard to write a song about something this powerful and they did.

This song isn't totally about the relationship part. I see it more about a friend or family member and or boyfriend, girlfriend, husband, or wife watching someone they love destroy themselves with some form of addiction. The video depicts it being drugs but there are so many addictions to list that the video could or even the song could represent.
