Every petal the wind blows away from me,
Is a freedom that I lose,
Each binding me closer and closer,
To this path I did not choose,
Every winter's breath that ices the air,
It chills me to the core,
And without you, I have no support,
I crumple to the floor,
A mass of shivers is all I am,
Reduced to tears and pain,
Just a smile, however weak,
Has now become a strain,
If loving you is considered wrong,
Then mistakes are all I know,
Gone or not, there is no erasing,
These scars that I must show,
I desire not their fake concern,
It makes this all the worse,
The recurring dreams are now a chorus,
Each waking moment is a verse.
So take this song and know it well,
Memorize its every chord,
I will not take what is not mine,
And this blame is certainly your's.
