you bared all in your soul
telling me the plans you made
before you had to go
little of me did you learn
as all of your dreams spilled forth
I tried hard to hold on
but the road had many forks
secrets of a mysterious life
you kept them to yourself
guarding the little white lies
boxed high upon the shelf
mornings after many nights
I woke to find you gone
I knew your distant devil
was draggin' you along
you pack in the original sin
with your list for all you yearn
hold me tight just one last time
on my forehead your lips burn
you swore you were heading for happiness
and for wanting you had no shame
I loved you when you left me
and I will never be the same
