Same Old Song

Folder: 
Remnants

Hell, in darkness
Paths refined
Chase the harmless
Souls defined


Break down into a thousand miseries
Hurt me like I hurt you like you hurt me
Show me how it feels to live without meaning
Take me where you took me when you left me to my means
Show me my old darkness with these shadows covering
Who I wanted us to always find a way to be


Now, that you're gone
And I hear the same old song
I'm not sure if I belong
Don't think that I can sing along


You left me standing on the edge of mystery
Then left to my devices, I saw what you couldn't see
I saw pain that I retained from your secret subtleties
And I found truth in all the lies that you made me believe


But now I'm not so sure
Just why I seem to want you more


Now, that you're gone
And I hear the same old song
I'm not sure if I belong
Don't think that I can sing along


When you left me standing all alone
Traipsing around with what you've shown
I stare into the shadows left behind
Becoming just a ghost of you and I
A ghost of what we were before
Making me want you even more


Now, that you're gone
And I hear the same old song
I'm not sure if I belong
Don't think that I can sing along


And now, that you're so far gone
I can still hear the beat of that old song
I know I'm right where I belong
Still unsure if I can sing along
But I'm quite sure I knew it all along
That in our end one of us was wrong


Now, that you're gone
And I hear the same old song
I'm not sure if I belong
Don't think that I can sing along


Don't think that I can sing along
With our old tired love song
