The day we met my life was changed
I always heard that love was strange and painful
painful
One night you slept upon your side tangled in white you looked just like an angel
an angel
So why did you fly away?
I've been dying a little death since that very day
I used to laugh, when you told me you must forget and forgive to be free
Down by the water, dressed in black
I swore revenge to get you back hateful
hateful
I made my camp upon the hill
drank whiskey from the secret still blameful
blameful
So why did you fly away?
I've been dying a little death since that very day
I used to laugh, when you told me you must forget and forgive to be free
And I never could admit the part I had in it so this is what I get, my friend
Drunk in a field of scarlet snow
I reconciled with your ghost in april
I stood before the hypocrite there in the mirror brightly lit shameful
shameful
Now, I know why you ran away and I've been dying a little death since that very day
I used to laugh, when you told me you must forget and forgive
you must forgive just to live
you must forget and forgive
to be free
