And when all your strings broke,
The dawn light filtered in through my window.
I promised to see the night,
To see the day,
To see the world anyway
With you.
I kept my promise.
I stayed honest.
But I suppose that we were praying on the stars
That this would be eternal so
When dawn came,
And the stars faded,
We did not have something to pray on
Anymore.
I felt the sun hit me,
Burning everything I'd ever known,
Blinding my eyes,
And disintegrating my soul.
I wish your strings never broke
And I wish the dawn light never spoke
Such words of bitter innocence.
I wish I could have the night back
And spend it with you once again.
