Romance was not too manifest 
Candor; a lesson learned that 

Reaching out has always brought me pain 
Whilst darkened thoughts lead to an early grave 
You waved goodbye and bought a one way ticket out from 
My loss 
All earth's light could never feel my loss 

I want to thank you for sparing me
The years or empty hope
strung along for what seemed like a legacy

Reaching out has always brought me pain 
Whilst darkened thoughts lead to an early grave 
You waved goodbye and bought a one way ticket out from 
My loss 
All earth's light could never feel my loss 

Your face is tightly etched into my mind 
Like scar-tissued calligraphy 

Reaching out has always brought me pain 
Whilst darkened thoughts lead to an early grave 
You waved goodbye and bought a one way ticket out from 
My loss 
All earth's light could never feel my loss
