About a relationship that fell apart

We're standing in the middle of a frozen lake

Beneath our feet, the ice starts to break

And with each crack we're getting more afraid

Of what to do, and what to say


You don't move closer, neither do I

We just keep staring at each other's eyes

We're too afraid to turn and say goodbye

So we just sink, and choose to die


The water's cold, it almost burns

But soon enough, the numbness comes

And as we both fall into the dark

A step away, but miles apart


And then a stranger comes along

And sits besides the rocks and stones

He sings my name, and then swims down

He takes my hand, we both get out


I wish he looked and talked like you

I do like him, but I love you

The only problem is, you don't

And I won't call this lake my home


So if you want me, prove it now

Before he takes me to his town

Before we walk out of the woods

Before you're stuck in there for good


Frozen on that black abyss

Alone forever,

With no one to miss

You and the darkness

Becoming one

Without a legacy

Your years all gone
