This life goes on since you've left me

But lord, it don't need to

You were my only truth

And I'm wondering how I could have been so taken

Now time takes its time to pass on by me

In my mind gonna rewind the times of you smiling

Darling it's a crime you left me so cold

And I can't trust myself with this hell I am accepting

I stumbled and I fell still hoping you'd come protect me

I tried to forget you that was just a reminder

You've turned a world full of shit and made it a little bit kinder

So take my breath, God, take it away

But by taking hers now Lord what was saved?

To think that it is you god that fools kneel and pray
C G
That I found my true love now she's buried away
