lyrics
I thought that this was it
That we had reached the ending factors
But I guess that I was wrong
Blindly reaching in the dark
And though I had stumbled on
What I had thought was closure
There seemed to be more in place
Than what I had once thought
And I did not believe
That all of this had happened
And it felt just like a dream
One where I would soon awake
And I walked down the hall
Expecting you to greet me
But you were gone, and the morning light
Had come to take your place
And I cannot stand that I won't be yours again
And it cuts me like a knife pushed through my chest
And I cannot say that I had never loved you anyway
When I know that that is wrong, and I know we tried our best
I thought this was the end
And a place we could start over
But I guess that I am not
Quite ready to begin
I tried asking you to stay
If there was something we could recover
But you said that this road you're on
Is a choice you've already made
And I cannot stand that I won't be yours again
And it cuts me like a knife pushed through my chest
And I cannot say that I had never loved you anyway
When I know that that is wrong, and I know we tried our best
But despite it all I truly hope you're happy
With the road you're on and with the choices that you've made
And I only wish that you find the pieces that you've missed
And I'll say goodbye as the dream begins to fade
