There Were The Times

there were the days,

there were the smiles

there was the love that i shared with you



there were those times,

i thought you truly cared

there were those hours,

i know you were there

but then theres the lies,

the times you were gone,

the destructive dawn

of vindictive nights



why you came too live,

seeking only my torment

i dont understand

and i know i never will



if i asked you'd lie

as you have time and time on

and even giving the choice

brings pain too me now



cause, what you felt

bold faced your brail just lies

chalkboard scratch your only honest touch



there were those times,

i thought you truly cared

there were those hours,

i know you were there

but then theres the lies,

the times you were gone,

the destructive dawn

of vindictive nights



why you came too live,

seeking only my torment

i dont understand

and i know i never will



i had given you all i could

then you took the rest of me

left skin and bones, you never returned a thing

the heart of me a drum,

in a requiem

turned my breathes to hums,

in a requiem



but see that emptyness i sing

is space i can sing to sleep

but for you what lies ahead

when all you wanted is in me

and all you have is empty space

and your the one wide awake

as bloody hands of your clock

hit you again and again and again

time is a redeamer

and time takes away

but time can't replace

what i gave you those days



there were those times,

i thought you truly cared

there were those hours,

i know you were there

but then theres the lies,

the times you were gone,

the destructive dawn

of vindictive nights



i leave you behind
