Requiem

I felt the rush of love in my bones
 But when your demons lashed out
 It wasn't enough
 After all
 I couldn't hold you up and I woke up alone
 I should've seen this coming
 You were a shadow of the one that I loved
 But I couldn't let go
 I covered my eyes with the thought you would be fine
 And when the sickness spread
 It was free to take what was left
 Take what was left that night
 All of this to feel alive for one last time
 I should've known, I should've seen it all along
 Shadows creep under my eyelids
 I don't think the night's ever been quite this cold
 What will it take to escape my thoughts?
 I thought I knew you
 I thought I could see through you
 
 I don't think the night's ever been quite this long
 I'm shutting down, consumed by the signs that I should've seen
 I always hoped when you fell away
 You'd take me too
 Cause i'm lost now
 Stuck in place
 I can't let go of you
 Time goes by
 Bleeds into the next life
 All of this just to feel alive
 For one last time
 Another meaningless high
 All of this just to feel alive
 I'm a stranger in my own home
 Desperately searching for what went wrong
 I'm already too far gone to find solace in your loss
 I always hoped when you fell away
 You'd take me too
 Cause i'm lost now
 Stuck in place
 I can't let go of you
 Time goes by
 Bleeds into the next life
 All of this just to feel alive
 For one last time
 Another meaningless high
 All of this just to feel alive.
