Did she ever really take me
To the darkness of her heart
Or was she already broken
Long before the start
When she let go
And watched me drift away
Both of us were less for words
We didn't dare to say
Ignorance comes only once
Then dumber every day
First you gamble with your soul
And then you pay and pay
Did she know how high I held her
Untouchable with grace
Did she see the blind devotion
That was written on my face
When she let me go
I was easily erased
Just another obstacle
That she once had faced
Like the blood that's spilled
And with alcohol replaced
Your chances don't improve with time
Until you know it's all a waste
Did she know that where I took her
Was the darkness of my heart
That I was already broken
Long before the start
When I let go
I could see it in her eyes
The place that all abandoned hope
Decays then finally dies
When it's time for the truth
To take off it's disguise
If each one's in their life alone
I'll find it no surprise
