lyrics

The agony portrayed here
Is not the same today
As it was the day before
Or the day that we both parted
It’s more real for I am hardened
More strained
For I am pained
It’s constant and it’s righteous, it is my one true friend

You see from the time you took my heart in
All I saw was happiness
And now you started hiding my mind it does regress
To a time where I was shaken a time of bitterness
But once this pain is over I hope to be the best

The best I ever could be
In all that I achieve
The best in all the hearts of my family you see
All I craved for was acceptance, all I wanted was your love
All that time that I spent waste, flying way up high above

Reality it’s so hard to fall back down
But once you see the first step is never really frowned
Upon, believe, maybe your time is now
Maybe that time to up and leave, maybe is now

You could’ve been there in the end, instead of leaving me heartless
You could’ve been there in the end, instead of making me hardened

My mind plays tricks and makes tests for you
So I see now why you thought it best of you
To retreat from that space that I took from you
With all those stories in my head that were so untrue

But still detrimental
It caused a differential
In your head and in your heart suddenly you didn’t feel as special
(Why can’t you see)

Consideration
Turned to desperation
Your deepest thoughts were of hibernation
And space
You needed a change in pace

You tried to take back all the plans we had laid
Down in our heads
All that’s left is the shame and the torture
Of telling me yes
And causing me more mess
Than you imagined you could’ve

You could’ve been there in the end, instead of leaving me heartless
You could’ve been there in the end, instead of making me hardened

Now you’ve left me heartless all I really have is hard thoughts (x3)
Now you’ve left me heartless all I really have is

You could’ve been there in the end, instead of leaving me heartless
You could’ve been there in the end, instead of making me hardened
