Savage Hands Taken
There was a time when I was younger and naïve
I thought we'd both be living forever, December
You used to tell me not to worry about my fears
As I grow old I'll learn to defeat them, defeat them
I swear you said you were coming home
But the pain inside, it just took you away from me
You swore that you would make amends
With the way you left, will the memories ever end?
As we grew older you grew distant and afraid
Like your head was caving in under pressure, September
You left with the summer, let my world unfold
I'll always be burdened by the fears that I hold
But you said I'd defeat them
Will the memories ever end?
I swear you said you were coming home
But the pain inside, it just took you away from me
You swore that you would make amends
With the way you left, will the memories ever end?
You'll know someday why I just couldn't stay
Why I was taken away
You'll learn one day that I made the mistake
Of trading everything that I ever loved for feelings I can't fake
For things I couldn't replace
But I pray that you could learn to forgive me
I swear that I'll change
I swear you said you were coming home
But the pain inside, it just took you away from me
You swore that you would make amends
With the way you left, will the memories ever end?
I swear you said you were coming home
But the pain inside, it just took you away from me
You swore that you would make amends
With the way you left, will the memories ever end?
