I recall the late night talks
Filled with oaths and vows
Yet I was alone on my walk
Learning on my own how to browse
But where have you been
When I was left in pieces
And learned what it means
To deal with wounds I can't ease
I've now come a long way
Defeated demons and monsters
With hope of living today
And never see each other
I still see you in my sleep
A reminder of the scars you carved
Your words were lovely and deep
And for a moment I felt charmed
But where have you been
When I was left in pieces
And learned what it means
To deal with wounds I can't ease
I've now come a long way
Defeated demons and monsters
With hope of living today
And never see each other
You owe me tears and pain
A debt I shall never claim
Wishing for fairness is vain
When we play this absurd game
You owe me tears and pain
A debt I shall never claim
Wishing for fairness is vain
When we play this absurd game
