Stole So Much Away

It was winter when you left,
My life in the snow,
Pitch against the white,
For every breath I saw,
You stole so much away.

It was what you didn’t say that had me going,
For the reasons you weren’t there,
It was her who had me guessing,
Just what spell she’d cast on you,
Or just how much alcohol you’d consumed.

So who says,
You threatened me,
I gave you everything,
But what you did is all your fault,
It was the time of day you gave me that saved my life.

In the night sky,
I watched you leave me far behind,
Smiling at the time of what was to be a great winter,
I watch the clouds of heat escape me,
As your footsteps miraculously approached.

I hold you true and to blame for all that’s been stolen,
Chained and broken,
My heart gave into you,
And my eyes watched you carefully,
Though they missed the abuse.

So who says,
You threatened me,
I gave you everything,
But what you did is all your fault,
It was the time of day you gave me that saved my life.

Promise shattered in the light of your escape,
I clutched to the hope of tomorrow,
Hung to the sun, awaiting it’s arise,
And in time I learned she was careless you were trusted,
I was a fool in a careful dream, one beat wrong, shattered.

Given the time it took me to see what’d you’d done,
I floated to the bottom,
In the winter of the pool that surrounded me,
Ice as cold as the chambers in your heart,
Wanting only to freeze, it’d be your arms around me that’d save my life.

Group:
So? Who says.
You threatened me…
I gave you, everything.
But what you did is all your fault,
It’ll be your arms around me that save my life.
