I never thought I’d die alone You were the closest friend I had ever known Then, that day when you passed on Falling away from me again Slipping through my hands Forever gone
They say that life Is just a path You follow your heart And it will tell you where your supposed to go You traveled your path without me by your side I fell behind, You left me there
The heart is just the place Where the soul goes to die The agonizing soul searches blindly Not knowing where to start, In what direction to go, Or where to end
You searched for something To have and to hold Something to keep You looked for something to grip onto Something to keep you from passing on You turned towards me To save you from your fate
If you hold onto something too tightly It will slip away You help onto me in a last chance for stability Held on too firmly And I fell away
You wanted to hold me there forever Hold me till I went down with you But your hand slipped Releasing me into the world To face it alone Misconception is mistake Not fate
You tried to catch me again Like a child chasing a butterfly You wanted to be the girl that That pulled the wings off of that butterfly Without it dying, but forbiding it To fly away and to be free
It’s not to say that you hated the butterfly Because you didn’t You wanted to see what would happened if you pushed its limits You wanted to take something away to see if it could still manage to live You wanted to take away its will to stay alive To see what it would do Every action has an equal and opposite reaction There’s no denying that It may not always be good But that’s just the science of things
You pulled off my wings Holding me prisoner forever Loneliness is a disease Not a choice
You couldn’t let it in You made me take it with you Made me suffer ‘till I was sure to shatter But in the end The disease kills the afflicted As well as the bound
When you found your resting place I pulled away Afraid to follow You left And I’m here alone I’m falling toward my end Then rising again And falling away And each time I do A memory, a part of you Is lost
I’m on my way down But I’m not there yet Your waiting for me there And I’m sure to follow I’m forever falling somewhere But my destination is unknown I’ll get there someday Maybe I’m not sure if I’ll ever hit the ground
