The Water's Edge

Fallen by the water’s edge

can’t get up off my knees

The rose of truth

the thorns it grew

our love far out at sea

Throw me all your secrets

and then turn them all on me

This rain falls like a symphony

the storm we grew to be

I’m taking back my rights

I don’t need your love to fly

I’ll justify tonight

My heart beats like a tragedy

You left the pieces of me on the ground

then you turned around

I couldn’t make a sound

The dust of what’s left of you and I

echoes in my mind

tonight

You will hear me walking dead at night

turning out the lights

Can we make things right?

I’ll be anything you want

I’ll learn to love you secretly

Show me where forever died

take me back to that night

Oh please just stay, I’ll change my ways

I’ll swear to make things right

I think I built a home in you

A place for me to stay

I held too tight, I sacrificed

to always take the blame

I’m taking back my rights

I don’t need your love to fly

I’ll justify tonight

My heart beats like a tragedy

You left the pieces of me on the ground

then you turned around

I couldn’t make a sound

The dust of what’s left of you and I

echoes in my mind

tonight

You will hear me walking dead at night

turning out the lights

Can we make things right?

I’ll be anything you want

I’ll learn to love you secretly

They say that time will heal, but I can't seem to find the cure

You ask if I'm okay but I'm not welcome anymore

We perished each alone just like the night turns into dawn

and now I kneel in the night

You left the pieces of me on the ground,

Turn around. Make no sound.

You and I, in my mind, every night.

You won't return,

Die or learn

Kill the hurt

In my mind, every night, lost the fight

Now I will love you secretly.
