In Response to Stars

It was the last time (Last time)

We lost a fight without you

And finally now you understand

This was the dream and answer

Never stop this

All I wanted was you by my side

Those were true days, I watched them fall away

These boards will break

These boards will break against my ribs

We've shown ourselves with our pride atrophied

A virtue burns hot enough to cauterize

These boards will break, these were true days

I watched them fall away

I don't blame the last step in the sequence

It was your way

So many times we cursed your name

And I do not say I hold no regrets when I close my eyes

Just think of the things we could have done

I've shown myself with my pride atrophied

I hope you know we always loved you

Forgive me for all things

Even though I watched us fall, fall away

With determination we could carry on

And with determination we all must live on

We've all learned things from those days

I know that we all have grown

Even I now feel a calm like I have never known

Like I have never known
