I'd rather see you as the bright light that you used to be
than the faded star leading me astray
With misguided steps, I was losing myself
And you, you were always walking away
The memory of what could have been is all I have haunting me
tearing out the stitches in the wounds of my heart that used to be
Every rain cloud paints my name in the dead sky, and I
I can't move on when the downpour's drowning me out
The winter stiffens my skin straight, so i can stand up while my faith evaporates
but my shoulders are weighed down by the taste of your name
I thought it would be so easy to spit it out, like love never touched my tongue
but it's stuck in the back my throat and its cold and alone and it's
dead and it's gone
Broken, bound down, faded, numb
than the faded star leading me astray
With misguided steps, I was losing myself
And you, you were always walking away
The memory of what could have been is all I have haunting me
tearing out the stitches in the wounds of my heart that used to be
Every rain cloud paints my name in the dead sky, and I
I can't move on when the downpour's drowning me out
The winter stiffens my skin straight, so i can stand up while my faith evaporates
but my shoulders are weighed down by the taste of your name
I thought it would be so easy to spit it out, like love never touched my tongue
but it's stuck in the back my throat and its cold and alone and it's
dead and it's gone
Broken, bound down, faded, numb
