Broken
The leap I made was of pure faith
And the trust I had in you
We were fools to think
That this was the thing to do
Recovery will not be quick
If it comes at all
The price I paid is much to steep
I’m broken from the fall
The prayers will not be answered
The candles remain unlit
Our selfishness has cost us
It is us that we forfeit
And hope returns to slowly
After the tears long shed
Diminishing the passion
From the short time that we had
