A Farewell To Remember
Posted: Tue Jun 21, 2011 2:24 am
How many years has it been
Since we last crossed paths on that snowy December night
It was a farewell to remember wouldn't you agree?
Yeah I’m still standing here the same place where we met
On that windy Spring day of May
I still remember the smell of cherry from your hair
And those death like glances you shot me when you saw me stare
How could I forget the red dress you wore
The way you smiled and how my heart sunk to the floor
But that was then, this is now
We've grown apart without a doubt
We were so certain of our future
Never could I have imagined it would end in so much torture
A twisted heart, a cynical smile
You became the judge presiding over my trial
Can you hear me calling out to you
And everything I’m saying is true
Sucks you’re the judge and I’m a witness
Cause you choose what you want to do with me
Once you've locked me a way and done all the damage
Would you regret it, how would you live, how would you manage?
But that was then, this is now
We've grown apart without a doubt
We were so certain of our future
Never could I have imagined it would end in so much torture
A twisted heart, a cynical smile
You became the judge presiding over my trial
Now you’re gone forever
I look up to the heavens and hope you're doing better
I realize you were troubled while we were together
I should’ve helped, I could’ve made it better, I could’ve helped
But you’re gone now, leaving me with a feeling I’ve never felt
Just another shitty hand I was dealt
But that was then, this is now
We've grown apart without a doubt
We were so certain of our future
Never could I’ve imagined it would end in so much torture
A twisted heart, a cynical smile
You became the judge presiding over my trial
I'm sorry we had too many misconceptions
After all we're just human, far from perfection
And I should’ve been there for you when you were lonely
How was I supposed to know
Those accusations were you crying "hold me"
But that was then, this is now
We've grown apart without a doubt
We were so certain of our future
Never could I’ve imagined it would end in so much torture
A twisted heart, a cynical smile
You became the judge presiding over my trial
Now I’m left looking at this mess
So distraught, so numb, so dead
This car crash, what a fucking wreck
But we'll rise from the ashes every time the car crashes
Such a slippery slope, with ice on an empty road
A sudden glimmer of hope
That you'll be the star that guides me home
That you'll be the memory that pulls me through,
Through the bad times, through the good
I’ll join you one day, I promise you my word is good
