53 Still Upright Album: 10. Abandonment-N |
LyricsAbandonment© 2014 Sahlen-Starburst What's it been? A dozen years, time it passes by No comfort in the solitude (of) questioning the whys I always thought you'd come back home and take your rightful place Denial's now the centerpiece, gone without a trace (chorus) When you said goodbye I didn't know it meant forever A kiss, a hug, a walk away, return for you meant never Forever's such a long, long time to not see you again When you said goodbye and kissed my cheek, I should have known it was the end (bridge) Its only Pyrrhic victory But this I won't admit My mind's made up, I mustn't blink Acceptance I'll commit Abandonment, you're crushing me, the wound's so hard to heal Entanglement of bitterness your power I'll conceal The time has come; I'm moving on, I've taught myself to breathe Abandonment, I'm crushing you, it's a new life I'll conceive (chorus) When you said goodbye I didn't know it meant forever A kiss, a hug, a walk away, return for you meant never Forever's such a long, long time to not see you again When you said goodbye and kissed my cheek, I should have known it was the end |
