I Walk This Mile

He once defied the world
 With her by his side
 Champions of independence
 Each an iron pride
 They worshipped the ground each other ruled
 But they grew decadent
 Their love became a monument of time
 But times change, even on the heaven sent
 I walk this mile under nothing but the sky
 I thought it was for you, but you just passed me by
 Sure you stayed for a while
 With your seductive smile
 Hiding all the pain
 It just goes to show you that even the love of God can die
 But I won't fall in love again
 His heart has been cremated
 And now is one with the road
 Cold, cracked, and lonely, walked all over
 He feels so empty, or so I'm told
 He just can't let go of the past
 He still blames himself for the love that couldn't last
 He just stares deep into the mirror
 And hates everything he sees
 I walk this mile under nothing but the sky
 I thought it was for you, but you just passed me by
 Sure you stayed for a while
 With your seductive smile
 Hiding all the pain
 It just goes to show you that even the love of God can die
 But I won't fall in love again
 Alone he sets his goals real high
 Alone he pretends he can forget her face
 But her name is the code on his bankcard
 And her birth date opens up his new brief case
 Because she's half of who he is
 He's only half of who he was
 He lost all of his sincere beliefs
 And curbs his pain with anything that can give him a buzz
 I walk this mile under nothing but the sky
 I thought it was for you, but you just passed me by
 Sure you stayed for a while
 With your seductive smile
 Hiding all the pain
 It just goes to show you that even the love of God can die
 But I won't fall in love again
