You used to show up at my door,
broken, and defeated by the world
And I'd take you in like a stray,
feed you, give your head a place to rest
My arms used to be a cradle,
A warm, safe place for you to dream
Somehow they became a prison,
Captivation, soon turned to captivity
If I could've stopped this casting
From changing our characters
You wouldn't be a liar
And I wouldn't be a fool
You used to undress in front of me,
Disarm, expose yourself to me
And I'd kiss all of your wounds,
dress them, give you something for the pain
My eyes used to be your windows
They used to be open, and full of light
Somehow they are just holes now,
Something you can't get out of
If I could've stopped this devolution
From taking us back in time
You wouldn't be a stranger
And I wouldn't be a stranger
