is there truth becoming

away from me

i fear the flames consuming

could it be i

abandoned your side

when all required was a word

dear you, dear you



how could i love

how could i try

to hide from you what burns inside

the change i lived

the love that cried

the part of me that died that night



well you could be 

the undoing of me

i can't sleep i wake at the thought

of you knowing

something showing

truth admist the lies

disguise and compromise and i scream

dear you, dear you



how could i love

how could i try

to hide from you what burns inside

the change i lived

the love that cried

the part of me that died that night



could you see

how much that you mean to me

I'm sorry

i let you slip away

from all that you could be

why didn't i say

Dear you, dear you



how could i love

how could i try

to hide from you what burns inside

the change i lived

the love that cried

the part of me that died that night



this debt i can't repay 

your memory won't fade 

it haunts me every day how i walked away
