The night you said goodbye
The Night you said goodbye
The sky appears like a velvet blanket
Sweeping over the world
We knew this would end
But knowledge did nothing
To blunt the edge of the sword
The slow bleeding grows
Like red wine spilling
In slow motion where my
Heart use to beat now
I could do nothing
But stand here useless
Watching you walk away
From me, from us for
The very last time
The night does me no favors
It doesn't end soon enough
