Towers

I found it kind of humourless

Our fallout months ago

I knew you way too well too fast

And it's taken its toll on me

You thought I was an angel

Seemed that I perceived you as a saint

I saw myself within you

And within me you found somewhere to place your faith

I was noble like a knight,

I was lucent like a light

I was taller than a tower

When I stayed within your sight

I was taller than a tower in your sights

So now I'm not afraid of heights

Was never my intention to

Grow overly attached

Although I'm unsure

Of what else one's supposed to do

When they are made to feel like that

Will I ever understand

Why you saw me as an angel?

I told the whole damn world you were a saint

Now I wonder, why do I still hold on?

And try to decipher what went wrong

Seems I'm not as wise as you characterised

And I cannot always see straight

'Cause I was caught up in your clout

I was all you were about

I depended on your deference,

Counted anybody else's out

'Cause you were noble like a knight

You were lucent like a light

You were taller than a tower

When you stayed within my sight

You were taller than a tower in my sights

So now you're not afraid of heights

Or risk of falling

But now we're fallen in the worst way that I know

I guess all I can do is hope that

If ever in your mind you go back

You pause, reflect, see it in hindsight

As something just so right

(As something just so right)

That's why I found it all so humourless

The fallout on the whole

I knew you way too well too fast

And that's taking its toll

'Cause now I miss you more than you would want to know

We were noble like knights,

We were lucent like light

We were taller than towers in one another's eyes

We were taller than towers then

So much taller than towers then

I was taller than a tower in your eyes

And now I'm not afraid
