days, weeks, months and years
pass by as i wait for you
are you coming back?

i'll forever be
on your side, you whisper to
me, knowing its true

you're cast adrift in
an emotional desert
of your own design

you occupy my mind
and it fills with resentment
but you forgot me
the moment you found contentment

that man
he just lied to you
you don't know it yet
you probably never will
that man
he is your friend
you don't know it yet
but he needs you
to call him out
on his lie
on his reality
that man
burns inside
at the thought of facing
his truth
his life
that man
he needs your
help

it was us
then it was me
who could have known?
how it would change
the way you
feel
the way we
were
it was a mistake
who could have known?
a punishment so severe
it's a life
taken
but not meant to be
I know i'm to blame
I know that's how you see
but you were there
the same
who could have known?
  not you
not me

i see your face
in the pictures
i hold

but i long to
watch your life
unfold
