we were solid
like the ground beneath our feet,
except yours grew cold
and mine burned through

damaged finds damaged
nothing new,
and we both knew
that one day we'd let them
get the best of us . . .

if it hurts so bad
then why is destruction
so beautiful?
we had all the stars,
so bright & bold & light & full.
darling, i never want
to leave this place.
we started a story
that ended in "sorry"
and i don't like that ending, f a d i n g . . .
so let's change it maybe?

we knew it from the first time
we saw the pain in each other's eyes...
how quickly we turned the rain into gold,
and we never had to say a word.
we just knew, and that's all there was to it...
you could be across the room
and i'd hear every word you'd say,
everything you felt
every little thing you felt...
i never knew how eyes could hold a conversation,
i knew it, i felt it, i held it, i had it...
all they screamed was "IT'S MANIPULATION".

if it hurts so bad
then why is destruction
so beautiful?
we had all the stars,
so bright & bold & light & full.
but darling, i never want
to leave this place.
we started a story
that ended in "sorry"
and i don't like that ending, f a d i n g  . . .
can we change it maybe?

you know i always have so much to say
yet never really know how to say it,
i can try
i can cry
and these tears, they can stain like dye...
there's so much to feel
so much to tell,
we touched, we fell
but no pentameter could hold
what needs to be told.

we loved
we laughed,
we cried
we sighed...
who knew i'd still be crying
3 years later? . . .

if it hurts so bad
then why is destruction
so beautiful?
we had all the stars
so bright & bold & light & full.
darling, i never want
to leave this place.
we started a story
that ended in "sorry"
and i don't like that ending, f a d i n g . . .
will we change it, maybe? . . .
