lyrics

I couldn’t see you
Through the darkness gathering
I couldn’t read you
Through the darkness gathering

Tried to believe that this
Was just a trick of mind
And that your eyes
Had not grown cold
To me

Never wanted anything
To ever mean this much to me
Until you broke me down
Sweet words and promises

Couldn’t have you wandering
Cause I’d invested everything
In these four untested walls
And all they hold within them

I couldn’t reach you
Through the darkness gathering
I couldn’t beat you
To the darkness gathering

Tried not to see it
As the darkness settling
It formed a ring
Above your head

Would’ve promised anything
To keep you with me endlessly
So we could settle down
And watch our children growing old

It seems that you had different plans
That didn’t meet with my demands
So you just slipped away
Instructing, “Never follow”

Why’d you have to leave
If you loved me
You could’ve stayed
Until our dying day
Forever, as they say

Why’d you have to go
I’m lost
Wherever you are now
I hope that we were wrong

Can’t stand the thought of endless darkness
Nothing here to end this darkness
Surely more than endless darkness
For you

My love
