I remember when things were better, when my life was meek,
You not mine, my life designed by no one but me
Angel face, her sweet embrace, left her kiss on cheek
Amber lips, and fingertips, not part of my dreams

In turned mind, divining why, all truths I seek
In my heart, the bitter part, all these burns I feel
All alone, all repressed, all backwards in time
These things mine, the reason tied, my rest to the grave

It ain't that bad,
I ain't that mad,
My little spark's
Gone away,
Been replaced,
By this lonely thought,

You said I was never there for me,
You'd no idea how right you'd be....

I didn't lie when I sung those words so sweet,
Only tried to hide you from this thing I keep....

You need to have the ones you love,
You have the ones you hate to need,
You love to hate the ones who need you,
And hate the love you cannot receive......
