The angel lost her grace,
As mascara ran down her face.
She forgot love, remembered hate.
She no longer had her faith.

With tear stained cheeks,
Through bloodshot eyes,
She saw only pain and suffer.
Love, she couldn't conquer.

As the blue sky faded to black,
Darkness filled her heart.
Her wings vanished from her back,
And her kindness fell apart.

Even with all her might,
Her dress still went black from white.
She was sent to save,
To help those who weren't brave.

But as she looked around,
At the marks she left...
Tear stained cheeks,
And bloodshot eyes.
Hello, hello
Anybody out there? Cause I don't hear a sound
Alone, alone
I don't really know where the world is but I miss it now

I'm out on the edge and I'm screaming my name
Like a fool at the top of my lungs
Sometimes when I close my eyes I pretend I'm alright
But it's never enough

Cause my echo, echo
Is the only voice coming back
Shadow, shadow
Is the only friend that I have

Listen, listen
I would take a whisper if that's all you had to give
You could come and save me and
try to chase the crazy right out of my head

I'm out on the edge and I'm screaming my name
Like a fool at the top of my lungs
Sometimes when I close my eyes I pretend I'm alright
But it's never enough

Cause my echo, echo
Is the only voice coming back
Shadow, shadow
Is the only friend that I have

I don't wanna be an island
I just wanna feel alive and
Get to see your face again

I don't wanna be an island
I just wanna feel alive and
i don’t wanna be an island
i just wanna feel alive and
get to see your face again.

But 'til then
Just my echo, my shadow
You're my only friend and I'm...i’m, oh i’m

I'm out on the edge and I'm screaming my name
Like a fool at the top of my lungs
Sometimes when I close my eyes I pretend I'm alright
But it's never enough.
hello, hello? Is anyone out there? ‘cos i don’t hear a sound…

I'm out on the edge and I'm screaming my name
Like a fool at the top of my lungs
Sometimes when I close my eyes I pretend I'm alright
But it's never enough.
hello, hello? Is anyone out there? ‘cos i don’t hear a sound…
Four years old with my back to the door
All I could hear was the family war
Your selfish hands always expecting more
Am I your child or just a charity ward?

You have a hollowed out heart
But it's heavy in your chest
I try so hard to fight it but it's hopeless
Hopeless, you're hopeless

Oh, father, please, father
I'd love to leave you alone
But I can't let you go
Oh, father, please, father
Put the bottle down
For the love of a daughter

It's been five years since we've spoken last
And you can't take back
What we never had
Oh, I can be manipulated
Only so many times,
Before even "I love you"
Starts to sound like a lie

You have a hollowed out heart
But it's heavy in your chest
I try so hard to fight it but it's hopeless
Hopeless, you're hopeless

Oh, father, please, father
I'd love to leave you alone
But I can't let you go
Oh, father, please, father
Put the bottle down
For the love of a daughter

Don't you remember I'm your baby girl?
How could you push me out of your world,
Lied to your flesh and your blood,
Put your hands on the ones that you swore you loved?
Don't you remember I'm your baby girl?
How could you throw me right out of your world?
So young when the pain had begun
Now forever afraid of being loved

Oh, father, please, father
I'd love to leave you alone
But I can't let you go
Oh, father, please, father

Oh, father, please, father
Put the bottle down
For the love of a daughter
For the love of a daughter
Not my own work, but it is definitely something I relate to very heavily.
Eighteen months. A year and a half.  The better part of it spent with the other half of us, learning how to put your two lives together.
It's kind of amazing to look back at something great that you created with someone else. To see the up and down parts and how you both reacted and acted.

Eighteen months.

There were times where I maybe should've walked away. When I should've left instead of coming back again and again for more. But love is a funny thing.  It doesn't communicate with your brain. It makes decisions before you have time to think about it.

Eighteen months.

We were on top of the world. It was us against the world. You were mine and I was yours. It was that simple. There wasn't a doubt in my mind when I said I wasn't ever gonna let you go.

One month.

It's been one month since it happened. Since the distance and time have swallowed us up. The end wasn't as simple as we would've liked it to be. But it was the end. The end of something beautiful and worth remembering.
And she breathed life into the trees and they lifted her up, passing her through their intertwined branches.

She was a child of the earth, and a princess of the forest.

And she dipped a hand into the water, and the droplets collected on her hand, caressing her skin.

She was a child of the earth, and a lady of the water.
I called it love and we said it was forever.
Didn't think that maybe we said it all too soon.
You got me at hello and how are you.
I was hooked on your voice and how you made me feel.
And it all changed, after sixteen months together.
I don't know what exactly happened, but I could feel it all shift a little.
Maybe I didn't try hard enough and maybe you were a bit too distant.
And maybe we stopped being good to ourselves and each other.
And I love you didn't mean the same thing anymore.
Guess you can't fix what might be broken and too late to put back together.
You got me at hello and how are you, but you lost me at goodbye and I'll always be here for you.
You said you loved me more than anything.
Foolish, I smiled and believed you.
Stupid girl, what have you done to yourself?
I fell in love with someone I thought had changed.
He led me to believe he was a changed man.
You made me laugh and smile, even though I was in pain,
Silly girl, he didn't love you.
He never really loved you in the first place.
Pretty words, all wrapped up in lovely packaging.
Darling, just walk away.
If you stay, you'll only end up getting hurt.
Beautiful girl, you deserve better.
