Your words, they hit hard,

Like stones hurled my way.

I'd never put them down,

Not in a goodbye today.

Why wound me sharply with words like knives,

And then simply walk away from our lives?

You're free, with wings to fly,

One look is all it takes, I see the truth in your eye.

You need to be right here,

Forgive my faults, hold me near.

You chased a hollow dream,

And now despair, it would seem.

This love is ours, and life's a tangled thread.

Love flares, or jealousy burns,

I'm saving, then breaking,

We built this private hell,

A trap of our own making.

I burn with a frozen fire,

This cold brings only pain higher,

You're free, now take flight,

I see the truth in your eye, no need to put up a fight.

You need to be right here,

Forgive my faults, hold me near.

You chased a hollow dream,

And now despair, it would seem.

This love is ours, and life's a tangled thread.
