I let my eyes wander
Saw things I shouldn't have
I let my mind falter
Pinned blame on an innocent man

And I keep on praying for these sins
But you can't ask the dead to forgive
So I rewrite the story
If not for them then for me

She waited like a goddess bathed in blue light
Draped in green silk, crushed by the silence of the night
Summer slipped underneath her feet
As I stole her future with my lies and deceit
Imagination run wild
Oh, but she was only a child

All she has are crumpled photographs
A crooked smile, a fading laugh
She tried to atone for his sins
To be cleared of the crimes that he did not commit
I watch them fade before me
I let them live in the memory

He waited for the words that would never come
She waited, her words like a loaded gun
Suffocating beneath these lies
I take a knife to already severed ties
Cut the wounds open
A blood red trail of dreams I've broken

But I'll let them meet again
Oh, lovers hand in hand
Feel the world beneath their feet
Stealing kisses on an empty beach
There I'll leave them, I'll let them be
I'll leave them, let them be
If I leave them, will they let me be
