I saw her smile for but a moment
She turned and walked into the fall
The rushing leaves of the coming autumn
Forbade me to go to the ball
This life, a lie, has all but ended
The simple truth is the ruse I live
To be a broken half hearted fool
Only her touch can forgive
My sin is lust as my heart betrays me
It beats only to draw her in
Without her it may beat no longer
Why was my heart not made of tin
Why of flesh so that it may ache
To see her in another's hold
Rip this blood pump from my chest
Deliver me to the darkness cold
Alas, my lass you've still left me
I sit in silence and await your voice
Siren call to me from the distance
Tell me I was your only choice
If not for the fact that we are fated
Since time before when the angels applaud
Destined to be kept apart
By the outstretched hands of a jealous God.
