He told to repent
Letting it go would be the answer
Forgiveness would save me

But I chose deaf ears
Allowed the flames to consume all
Destroying all that causes me pain

He said love was what made us strong
Letting people in
That's what would stop the storm

I chose to shut the doors
Slamming all the windows
Drowning in darkness

He tried holding me
To protect me from myself
That he could mend the cracks

I chose to fight
I abandoned who I was
Accepted this brutal solitude

He said he'd leave, he couldn't keep fighting for my sake
A heart could only make so much
That he couldn't love someone who was dead inside

I watched him leave
Shed silver tears that held the last of my humanity
As he walked away, he took what little I had left
He took his love
