Ross Wylde - In Retrospect Lyrics

Something's up, it's not quite clear
Or it's too much to put to lines
You confronted me and then appeared
On the crossroads of my mind

I chose the wrong, sheltered road
Let us down. Nights got colder
Days were longer than before
Time got tired, we got older

Every day, you'd follow me
To pick up what I'd lost
Like a brother, fought my fights
And never cared about the costs

Your quiet curse, that distant kiss
Parades still through my head
You could fold my stubborn fists
But I strangled this instead

A vengeful queen until you came
With your iron eyes attached
You took me in, I wasted time
And still claimed there was a catch

After you traced around my face
I left with buckshot in my chest
I guess the first time going 'round
Ain't as pretty as the rest

My god, I prayed to night and day
That you wouldn't get too close
But then you told me who I was
More than I could ever show

And now I'm shaking yet again
What a fool I was to wait
I love you now, you loved me then
And I know that it's too late
