I leave a path of pain
In my wake
Pain I cannot erase
Or grab and take
With me to my grave
Nor wash away
Then I find only one remedy
Erase myself
From reality and memory
That you may be unburdened
Don't be weary with the burden of my soul
I was never here
You were never here
We were never here
The pain and I,
We are both gone
…
We were never here
We started it wrong
This I know you know,
Still I held on,
Clung to your hope,
Fleeting and flimsy as it was
It's a wonder
It took so long
I realize now,
I know you do too,
We had nothing in common,
Nothing to stand on,
Other than our thirsty hearts
And throbbing flesh
It was a dear dream
Now daylight has come,
And I have to leave
The feeling was warm
But one I have to cleave
The memories are sore
From mistakes I made
Though I will see you again
It will be with a heart in pain
And the shift from friends
To strangers betrayed
A reminder of bonds
We thought so strong
Yet so false.
Funny how we lose ourselves
Chasing between who we are
And who we want to be
Losing touch with what we love
Forgetting the favour in what we have
Then we reminisce
And get caught in the struggle
Between re-emerging and reimagining
Our present rediscovery
Then we fight with the image
Of past patterns and present habits
Merging into a being to love and hate
In equal measure
Caught up in the past and present
trudging towards the future
See
I am out here, frozen
Shivering, whimpering, whispering
Asking for a little warmth
Afraid to step in
See
I have been burned before
The scars are still sore
The pain fresh where it tore
My heart from its door
See
I really want to belong
I really hope it won’t be long
Before I start to feel strong
And… God I hope I am not wrong
See
I am a lad that needs convincing
You are a lass that needs persuading
Both our hearts are a little fleeting
But both require healing
