Tell me Goodbye
Euphoric, distant worlds, two separate hearts
Beat in time as one unity
But as one becomes complicated, the other falls apart
Breaking the quiet, still beauty
A strange, complex distance between these worlds forms
With a skip of a heartbeat, it extends
This gap in the worlds is not from the norm
In the horizon, there's an end.
As you cling tight, I loosen my hold
Trying to release the untrue stories you've told.
Your efforts are empty, your pretty words lies
I wish I could hold you but I can't even try
All I can see is the anger in your eyes.
The pain of your angel that you have inflicted
feels almost cruel, it's laceration, vindictive
She cries in the night for you to find peace
only wants you to smile for her, once more
Praying out loud for God to grant you relief
She is so broken, lost, forlorn.
Her emotions torn down, her heart so at loss
Wishing so deeply these paths hadn't crossed
It's an apology, a whisper to tell him this now
A lost soldier who's failed to remain true to his vows
Broken wings, she has fallen, without your support
She falls and she trembles because you're not there
It's nothing more now than a world of hurt
You try and you try, but darling, you fail.
Not there for her, way she was for you
Was a single word from your lips honest or true?
With a mouth so convincing, eyes so alluring
The thoughts of her soul thinking "he's so adoring."
What memories are more bold than those of sorrow?
All the foretold commitments that say nothing
Every promise says always, "Tomorrow... tomorrow..."
But why to these broken words should I cling?
The distance so close, it's so suffocating
But his words of poison are so intoxicating.
They create an addiction, a craving for more
She leaves, she returns, she drops to the floor,
"I'll be better tomorrow," that liar swore.
Emotional waves or tormenting anger
As this angel falls, her life's so in danger
She cries for you, flutters those broken wings, stalling
All you can do is say, "I'm sorry, my darling."
She's your angel, why couldn't you help her fly?
You're her world, why couldn't you spin for her?
How could you leave her so many times to cry?
One more promise broken, another, another...
Whereas once you laid your head to rest
On top of hers, your lips on her cheek
Her forehead laying against your chest
Nothing now but brokenness
Every moment you've missed is a moment you've wasted
Every second you've left her causes her to be jaded
Her lips said such words that have finally faded
Nothing here now to be left undebated
She leans out the windows of her tallest tower
Letting the rain fall in it's currents, and shower
The queen of the ages lets her soldier take leave
Riding away on his less than valiant steed
It's not a final kiss, she whispers to the wind,
"But for now, this is my love's and mine's end."
I'm so sorry.
