My love for you blossomed
With the words that you said
And each time you sang them
The more I felt dead
Your voice was my guilty pleasure
Saved for rainy days
And each time you spoke
You promised you'd always stay
Your words spoke of tales
That happened every day
It seemed you were singing to me
I thought you'd always stay
Until spring came
And you rushed in with tears
The Demons have come you cried
Bringing all your worst fears
The fights you had fought
And the wars you had won
Had they ever really ended?
Were they ever really done?
Your ghosts have come again
And they bring the hopeless nights
They rock the waters
They stir up fights
They had been conquered
Many times over
It's just too hard to fight
When you don't wanna be sober
The drinks drown the monsters
The screaming hides your tears
The profanity covers the pain
the recognition of the years
Wasted spent fighting the unstoppable
You used your wits and guns
You kept running
But ultimately: they won
You said you had to go
It was for the greater good
And even though you meant it
I never understood
I knew you were in pain
But I thought we'd fight together
At least that's what I though you meant
When you said we were forever
In the later years
you returned alone
You were a new man
It hurt how you shone
I was keeping you down
All that time
I continuously told myself
That you were mine
You never really were
And the thought still hurts
But there is only one thing
That really burns
You gave me 12 years
And said you were fine
It never once occurred to me
That you were lying
