A+ A- |
i look up at the clock on the wall
dusted over and old fashioned
i scan the room and see the truth
that i've aged 20 years, waiting for you
I promised myself that you were the one
the one worth waiting for
the one that would never let me down
but baby, it seems like i've broken a promise to myself
because you're gone, and i'm all alone
sitting on the rocking chair
my stiff bones creak as the hinges on a door that needs oil
wasted the good years of my life, waiting for you to make up your mind
Where has the time gone?
Where did you go when you left that day?
All i know is, you didn't come back
All i know is, I've never been the same
I look down at your picture, the one you gave me long ago
And i remember how beautiful you are
and i curse under my breath for letting you slip away
Where has the time gone?
I fall to my brittle knees, and instead of a scream of pain
a yelp of powerlessness befalls me as i scream your name to the spirits
praying to whatever deity will listen
that they will bring you back to me
but i know that those prayers fall on deaf ears
because, like you said that night baby, "We've got nothing in common"
Well,you know me,
persistent to the end when theres something i want
but you've finally convinced me, that its the end for you and me
So i say my goodbyes, and i close the door,
and i fall asleep alone
to never wake again
because without you
i have no reason for living
without you, i need not be here
i see the blade on the mantle
delicate and sharp,i took better care of it then i did you baby
I regret not being better at what i did in life
and i regret not being better to you
but what can i say, the past is past
and its time, if i don't want to end up alone
to call the end
Goodbye my love, Think good of me when i am gone
Don't remember the bad times, but think about the good
Think about the love i had for you,
As i bid you adieu
Because i just can't think about you anymore baby
You don't understand, you can't
that whenever i see you with someone else, a part of me dies
even innocent contact, a part of me dies and that can't be helped
i'm a lost cause, baby, so don't worry about me
Just enjoy life, make me that promise that you won't dwell on me when i'm gone
so i know that you'll be happy.
i pick up my blade, run it across my wrist, teasing myself
the serrated tip nicks but does not cut, its bronzed wolf head, feels cold against my skin
drawing the blade across my chest, pulling back and thrusting forward,
feeling it break through the skin
to the hilt, bright red blood flows from the wound
like the tears that flowed every night baby
I just can't do it anymore
I teased myself with love and the end of stress for too long
pulling the blade out, the little wolf coated in bright red blood,
as well as the full blade
I couldn't take care of you like you should have been baby
so i'll take care of myself.
I slump over on the ground in the pool of my own blood and i say with my last dying breath
"Goodbye baby, this is the end,
the last bus to heaven is leaving the station, and my soul has to catch a ride."
