Mourning Skies

Wither

Oh what a tragedy
I lead myself to this
I never let you know
Oh listen, I insist

You were the only one
I could see in light
You made each and every day
An easier, better fight

And I still can't help
But wonder how and why
I never was your savior
I never noticed each lie

I was blind to this little thing
Called love, oh yes, you see
It was something dark and horrid
It was something blinding me

You used to be my anchor
You kept me close
But you were free
And he began to engross

And you drifted away
Just like that
Back to the waves
That sputtered and spat

So I've let you go
But my thoughts still drift
Away from my anchor
And into the rift

Where I find out
All the lies you told me
And who you held
I can't believe I couldn't see

You were a liar from the start
You were never by my side
So why do I continue
To wither, die inside?
