Mourning Skies

In Heart

You carved every broken promise into yourself

And the marks that they've left are reminding myself

That I wasn't there when you needed me near

That I wasn't there when you needed help, my dear.

So I'll keep you in mind when I'm dying and old

I fear I will leave you alone in the cold.

But until that day my heart belongs to you

I'm sorry, this is the best I can do

I'll never forget your freckled cheeks blushing as I caught your eye

Or the way you lost your light when "I'm fine" became a lie

You'll always be here like the scars I can't forget

You'll always be my biggest mistake, but the one I'll never regret

So when they lay me down six feet beneath the ground

I pray you'll keep me in your heart and still hear my voice's sound.
