The Man I Once Was

Gone in the dark of the night,
The lightness of days, the seasons to pass
Who knows where we’ll end up this time
Hearts full of rain,. Cold as the ground

Each day my love, I say your name
To remind me of the beauty of the flames

Lost in the ways of the town,
They’ll cut up your soul in the blink of an eye
How long will we keep doing that,
Scarring our hearts till blood has run out?

Each day my love, I say your name
To remind me of the beauty of the flames

And time won’t heal us now
It’s just you and me, trapped in this life again

Sometimes on a day like this one,
I fear you’ll forget, I fear I’ll go blind
And angry and cruel to those around
Will you remember the man I once was?

Each day my love, I say your name
To remind me of the beauty of the flames
