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 a fair 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 learnt to fly So coming down I'm very thankful (you were there)
