Spoken There's nothing left to try.
There's no place left to hide.
There's no greater power than the power of goodbye.
I watched you walk away
Didn't know it was the last time I'd see your face
And now I wait
Outside it rains
I watched you close the door
Didn't feel I could've given you anymore
And now I cry
And now I'm dying inside
It wasn't me
It wasn't you
It's just the way things were meant to be
As I pick up all the pieces
I wonder if there's anything left for me
Did you leave me with anything?
(besides this broken heart)
I watched you turn away
Never thought that I'd ever see that day
And now I fall
You killed us all
I watched you break me down
As I reached out to give you all of me
And now I fade
It was all a charade
I watched your walk away
Didn't know it was the last time I'd see your face
And now I wait
Wait for the day
(Overlay: You were my lesson I had to learn. I was your fortress you had to burn)
