To others the pain was obvious   The colours of shame a bruise   Unjust   Abuse of trust can’t be wiped   I can’t remember why I chose to say goodbye   I’m terrified of what I might have severed   I tried to forget the drowning truth   Lashing inside my sea of youth   Life seemed unfair sacrifice for peace   I can’t remember why I chose to say goodbye   I’m terrified of what I might have severed   I ended up too high   But never learned to fly   So coming down I’m very thankful      I can’t remember why I chose to say goodbye   I’m terrified of what I might have severed   I ended up too high   But never learned to fly   So coming down I’m very thankful.
