July

You took away every piece of me An empty promise for all of my broken dreams. I let you have everything. Gave you my throne so you'd feel like a king. I lost my soul trying to make you happy You set fire to my throne Somehow it didn't feel wrong when I watched it burn to nothing. You brought to my eyes to see that the throne wasn't quite big enough for me I blew away smoke and brushed off some ashes. I could see where all of our past is I put the glee back in my soul as I watched you get old when you cried, "I've given everything!"
