The Water's Edge

Fallen by the water's edge
can't get up off my knees
The rose of truth
the thorns it grew
our love far out at sea

Throw me all your secrets
and then turn them all on me
This rain falls like a symphony
the storm we grew to be

I'm taking back my rights
I don't need your love to fly
I'll justify tonight
My heart beats like a tragedy

You left the pieces of me on the ground
then you turned around
I couldn't make a sound
The dust of what's left of you and I
echoes in my mind
tonight

You will hear me walking dead at night
turning out the lights
Can we make things right?
I'll be anything you want
I'll learn to love you secretly

Show me where forever died
take me back to that night
Oh please just stay, I'll change my ways
I'll swear to make things right

I think I built a home in you
A place for me to stay
I held too tight, I sacrificed
to always take the blame

I'm taking back my rights
I don't need your love to fly
I'll justify tonight
My heart beats like a tragedy

You left the pieces of me on the ground
then you turned around
I couldn't make a sound
The dust of what's left of you and I
echoes in my mind
tonight

You will hear me walking dead at night
turning out the lights
Can we make things right?
I'll be anything you want
I'll learn to love you secretly

They say that time will heal, but I can't seem to find the cure
You ask if I'm okay but I'm not welcome anymore
We perished each alone just like the night turns into dawn
and now I kneel in the night

You left the pieces of me on the ground,
Turn around. Make no sound.
You and I, in my mind, every night.
You won't return,
Die or learn
Kill the hurt
In my mind, every night, lost the fight
Now I will love you secretly.
