Desertion - Wither Lyrics

The lost places of my past are the places that I yearn
But it's a reflection upon all the lessons I've learned
Looking back I see the flames of the bridges we burned
Wishing I was there but knowing I can never return
There's nothing I can do
There's no one left but you
Just finish what you started
And Leave me broken hearted
After all this time I couldn't find
The reason you left me alone to die
I searched and searched but I found no trace
Just the feathers of an angel who fell from grace
I long to find the place I can call home
Because looking back on what I had
I need to feel whole
I never felt more at home than I did in your presence
Remembering every second spent just wanting your essence
The persistent grief I feel still gives me assurance
That when I see your shadow it's an unnatural occurrence

I placed my heart on a shelf
I watched it collect dust and wither
But I still can't stand the thought of not being with her

Leave me alone in my empty room
I can't stop I can't stop
Burning all the things that remind me of you
I can't stop I can't stop hearing your voice

I placed my heart on a shelf
I watched it collect dust and wither
But I still can't stand the thought of not being with her

I sat and waited for days
Days turned into months
Months turned into years
But when I noticed I was all alone
I started becoming my fear
I feel I should know better but the truth is I am no better
I wish I could repair the damage that's been done but I feel as though the end has just begun
I always thought that you were the one
You were my everything but now you're gone

Craving the spot which I used to lay
Despising that I've been replaced day by day
I long for the time that once was lost
It burns when I hear your name
In my head I still see your face
But it doesn't change a thing
I will never be the same
Im too concerned with the qualities I lack
When I look for a reason my mind fades to black
A reason to move on
A reason to let you go
I need to be set free
I need you to hate me
