Making a Monument and Leaving a Legacy
I remember how every word fell
just like the tears that filled our eyes
How everyone was a good enough reason to retry
I remember how every lie fed the fire in me
I remember how I led myself to believe
believing all the lies
never reading in between the lines
leading myself on
Laying my crown at the wrong feet
so willing and so ready
So lost and unbelieving
I saw the last storm cloud
I saw the star burn out
I remeber how my words fell without meaning
I remember how my love went out so wastefully
I remember how much it hurt to turn away
I remember the hurt of every promised day
