The Love You Let Too Close

This isn't just another sunset

Finality hangs low in the air

The last page of a story all too short

You can see there was a battle here

Substance and a pain eternal

Infidelity so infernal

A friend, lover, son and a brother

Taken too early by his own hand

The poison lays on the table

Note with a final goodbye

Within arms' reach

If only we could see it in your eyes

So unstable

If only you could've shared the pain with me

If only

You couldn't bury the pain (I couldn't save you)

You couldn't bury the pain (Instead it buried you)

You couldn't bury the pain (I couldn't save you)

You couldn't bury it all

Now I just go through the motions

Watching it all just fade away

Now I just go through the motions

Taking it all day by day

Now I just go through the motions

Wishing that I could've noticed

Now I just go through the motions

March 26th

The day you left us

Broken by the love you let too close

I couldn't see

The pain in your heart

Now it lives in your mother's eyes

And now you're gone

And it's killing me

You couldn't bury the pain (I couldn't save you)

You couldn't bury the pain (Instead it buried you)

You couldn't bury the pain (I couldn't save you)

You couldn't bury it all

Now I just go through the motions

Watching it all just fade away

Now I just go through the motions

Taking it all day by day

Now I just go through the motions
