Lament

You ran like a thief
And you stole all of me, all of me
You stabbed and you fleed
Left me here to bleed, here to bleed

You promised the world then you burned like the sun
But I thrived on your warmth, now I’m frozen and numb
How was I so wrong? Are you not the one?
I built you a house, but you never came home

And now that you’re gone, and I’m alone
The colors all fade and my world is cold
You spoke of your love like there might’ve been hope
But you sank like a stone when I thought you would float
You chose to desert when it’d hurt me the most
I can’t let you go, when I live with your ghost
But now that you’re gone, all there’s to say,
Is so long

It’s frighteningly calm,
But there was never a storm
You were just here, then you were gone
And after so long
You were my reason for breathing
And now I’m just lost

And now that you’re gone, and I’m alone
The colors all fade and my world is cold
You spoke of your love like there might’ve been hope
But you sank like a stone when I thought you would float
You chose to desert when it’d hurt me the most
I can’t let you go, when I live with your ghost
But now that you’re gone, all there’s to say,
Is so long

I can’t mend my soul if I cant let you go and
And I can’t let you go, when I’m clinging to hope
And I can’t say goodbye when I’m always alone and
I can’t mend my soul when it’s utterly broken

Now all that I am, and all I believed
Came tumbling down, ripped apart at the seams
You spoke of your love but there never was hope
When you speak your lies now I hope that you choke
I’m hopeful in time, I won’t have to lie
When I say, “believe me without you I’m fine”
And now that you’re gone all there’s to say
Is so long
