A life lived in shadows of giants towering above

Looking to faces smeared, looking to love

Grasping the ropes, holding them tight

She runs from his heart but not out of sight

Leaning side to side as wind pushes him back

He tears through the pain keeping his heart intact

A last minute leap to grab a hold of her dress

Realization of the hole beneath him ends the rest

Falling through life in a spin of fate

My cry for a second chance came too late

Letting go of her is all I can do

Letting go of her, say I’m through

I yell at the top of my chords

One last chance I ask for

Give her heart, give me her soul

I’ll give her mine to make me whole

Could this be time collapsing in

Taking with it all left within

I try to roll my eyes to the back of my head

Hoping for a glimpse of the past I had

The lies come out so vividly with hindsight

Yet, the truth still so unclear as night

Time has had its way with me

All I can do is look forward and flee

What kind of thief could have came so silently

To steal my heart and break it so violently

I’ve had pain and hurt but none such as this

Too much too bare for the girl I could not resist

Her eyes so glazed with her cold bitter heart

Each kiss was just a chance to rip mine apart

Have I gone too long with this open wound

I’ve lost much blood, I may die soon
