This is my designated time on planet earth,
And for you, my love, I felt inclined to entitle you to share every last second.

I wiped the slate clean, and fell into your secure hold.
I let myself forget past heartache, and I gave my heart to you

But you never gave me yours. To this day it is trapped within a cage, not even you hold the key to.

I followed like a faithful dog, swallowing my pride and delivering to you a figure of absolute bliss.
My only wish was your happiness, because you gave me mine.

Never have i relied on a relationship to structure me as a person, but you pulled me up from the darkness and didn't even know it.
You took my hand and lead me away from the pain and stench of death, so I gave you my all.

But you, a boy never taught to love, you shied away from my devotement.

And now I'm brought crashing back down into that dark shadow
I'm left to bear the pain, while you stride free.

It's punishment you see, for sharing my time on earth.
