is there truth becoming
away from me
i fear the flames consuming
could it be i
abandoned your side
when all required was a word
dear you, dear you

how could i love
how could i try
to hide from you what burns inside
the change i lived
the love that cried
the part of me that died that night

well you could be
the undoing of me
i can't sleep i wake at the thought
of you knowing
something showing
truth admist the lies
disguise and compromise and i scream
dear you, dear you

how could i love
how could i try
to hide from you what burns inside
the change i lived
the love that cried
the part of me that died that night

could you see
how much that you mean to me
I'm sorry
i let you slip away
from all that you could be
why didn't i say
Dear you, dear you

how could i love
how could i try
to hide from you what burns inside
the change i lived
the love that cried
the part of me that died that night

this debt i can't repay
your memory won't fade
it haunts me every day how i walked away
