lyrics

Tell me what happened to our love.
Why has your heart ceased to shine?
Tell me what happened to our love.
You said we’d be forever.
Forever has proven itself a façade.
The words you spoke carried the weight of a feather
and floated in the air, into an oblivion
I stared at through my window each night.
But death handed down by you has brought upon new life.
You opened my heart. I’ve sewn it shut.
These smiles are no longer painted upon my face.
From the darkness has come new light.
I thank you for the pain, as I now know who I am:
A person, an individual, one with undying strength.
Of the many years I’ve lived, you were but a few.
My eyes leak no longer while dreaming of your embrace.
They look to the open sky, wondering what’s to come for me,
ignoring the questioning shadows you have long since created in my mind.
Now there is only light. Now I am alive.
The chains you locked to my bleeding wrists have fallen to an old world.
My dreams are void of you.
I stand before the sun, a smile on my face.
I’ll sacrifice nothing but pity for your empty eyes.
No more sadness. No more pain.
I gave you my all and have lost so much, but the future has erased that past.
I will live beyond this. I am better than you.
You are but a forgotten ghost. I now live for myself.
I’ve found an end to this endless sea,
and I’ll never drown my dreams for tomorrow ever again.
