[Verse 1]
The gap that grows between our lives
The gap our parents never had
Stop those thoughts control your mind
Replace the things that you despise
Oh you're old I hear you say
It doesn't mean that I don't care

When our smiles were genuine
But now unforgiven, the everlasting

So don't forget or don't pretend
It's all the same now in the end
It was set in a different life
Destroys my days and haunts my nights
[Chorus]
In the beginning when we were winning
When our smiles were genuine
In the beginning when we were winning
When our smiles were genuine
But now unforgiven, the everlasting
Everlasting
In the beginning when we were winning
When our smiles were genuine
In the beginning when we were winning
When our smiles were genuine
But now unforgiven, the everlasting
Everlasting
In the beginning when we were winning
When our smiles were genuine
In the beginning when we were winning
When our smiles were genuine
In the beginning when we were winning
When our smiles were genuine
In the beginning when we were winning
When our smiles were genuine
