If I smiled for you, what would you take from me
If I eased your pain, would you set me free
If I carried your burden, would you carry mine
Or leave me alone, to read ..

I've relived my memories so many times
and acted out the anger and blurred the lines
of who I am and who you were and who I never wanted to be
But I can't seem to escape the you in me

and I've been told to let go and I've been told to forgive
but who are you to judge if you never lived
the darkness that was my life
you are just my wife...

But I see it now and I think I understand
to forgive isn't for them it's to make me a better man
because I can't let go if I'm always angry inside
and it's just as well, the past should have died... a long time ago

We will always be together
I will never let you go
I guess that forever
was a long time ago...

I need a moment if you don't mind, you've pushed me far and past the line leave me alone , just go away there is nothing left for us to say
I don't want you back I'll still be here, doing as I was but with hidden tears there was something that you missed my one regret
the hurt from every time that I'll soon forget.

It was a winters morning with clear blue skies
I saw the sunrise in your eyes
I felt the clouds in your every breath
You were my all with nothing left

Don't savor the pain yet reject the hand that tries to help you though I cannot possibly understand what you have been through.  But I see you, I see your pain.  I may not have lived your past but it didn't last and yet we can if you do not push me away so fast.  I just want to listen when you want to talk, hold you when you can't and tell you how the stars got their names.

This little nightmare comes and goes
Its dark and tainted when it comes it grows
it taints all my dreams it crucifies my night
its hauntingly fast, I'm losing this fight

this creature of dark this son of night
fleeing again at the first sight of dawns light
It holds my terrors and haunts my dreams
But the demons it carries are demons from me

You wrap yourself tightly with your blankets of pain and sorrow
Are you afraid of letting go, afraid of starting a new tomorrow?
Not letting go keeps you away from me
Alone is not where you want to be.

I ache so I sigh,
I want to cry
not to die,
what you see is different
what you see is not real,
You will never know
how I really feel.
