Farewell
Yet she's still is my angel
Despite my prayers being in vain
I wouldn't care
If this weren't so hard
Lord knows I don't blame her
She couldn't do this
She was my princess,
I slew all her dragons
Through fire, through flame
A long time ago, tried to show feeling
Got burned, so I hid
But it's different...okay?
She's right, it is
I know this...
I know...this...
But I'm not sure I know her
It's funny
In that, "that's not funny" kind of way
She remembers me
In a way that I can't remember me
That me I wish that I could be
Lord knows I love her
I miss her
So why can't I try?
It hurts, you fool
You're a train wreck,
And no one looks away
My life is a failure
No one believes me yet
It's just that they're scared
They know I'm just that delicate
Though I am so hopeless
She looks at me longingly
She wishes we could be
I will atone for my sins
So I can see you one day
I feel the world around me
But I don't know how you found me
Or why you still care
I don't understand
When I dream,
I forget about purpose,
I know what life means
When I wake
I forget what love is
I forgot how to care
I couldn't see you as delicate
She told me love's like walking
Your legs hurt,
You're tired and sad
But you're somewhere
With someone you love
The truth is
Nothing says more about you
Than if you can't take that first step
In that case,
You won't go anywhere at all...
I'm sorry for letting you down.
I've caused you nothing but pain
So for now, I'm going away
I will atone for my sins
So I can see you one day
Freshly bathed, awash in golden light.
