Here I am in ashes looking for color and light
There you are waiving your indifference like a sign
Im picking up pieces, licking wounds, gathering leads
Youre smiling and dancing across the bloody crime scene
So whyd you take me up, knowing Id follow your lead
It only left more steps to fall down when you turned to leave
And Id take your lies, your truth dont set me free
It only makes me see, youre weaker than I thought youd be
Deceived
But rose will leave my eyes
One thing I trust is time
Tears dry to find why theres really good in goodbye
Im miles from home in the rain lost in a storm
Youre wrapped in denial by the fire keeping warm
Im stuck on an island screaming in nobodys ear
Youre sailing away on a one man boat going nowhere
So whyd you take me up, knowing Id follow your lead
It only left more steps to fall down when you turned to leave
And Id take your lies, your truth dont set me free
It only makes me see, youre weaker than I thought youd be
Deceived
But rose will leave my eyes
One thing I trust is time
Tears dry to find why theres really good in goodbye
You said wed cross this bridge as one, then torched it to the ground
No use crying over spilled guilt, love we burn comes right back around
