My Gift, My Pain

>

Awoke a sunny morning, found you lying next to me
You were my angel, my devil dressed in black
I thought what a wonderful life this could be
Held you in my arms, felt your hands upon my back
Thought we’d last forever, our love would set us free

It wasn’t supposed to be like this
Wasn’t supposed to end this way
Was there ever hope for us
Or was it just a fantasy
You were my gift, my darling little angel
You are my pain, my devil dressed in black

Awoke a lonely morning as the rain poured down outside
Dreams of you had once again danced upon my mind
Thought of all the hope I had as I sat alone and cried
I wondered where you were, these days were so unkind
Gazed up, worried and scared, a part of us had died

It wasn’t supposed to be like this
Wasn’t supposed to end this way
Was there ever hope for us
Or was it just a fantasy
You were my gift, my darling little angel
You are my pain, my devil dressed in black

Awoke a painful morning as I laid in bed to pout
We had fought and argued as the day turned into night
Watched the shadows form has they crept slowly out
Had this feeling it had ended, felt so wrong, never right
Formed a wound, now a scar, filled with hope and doubt

It wasn’t supposed to be like this
Wasn’t supposed to end this way
Was there ever hope for us
Or was it just a fantasy
You were my gift, my darling little angel
You are my pain, my devil dressed in black

Awoke a desperate morning asking where we went wrong
I know I’ve thought of you, have you thought of me
In this distant mourning thought I heard our familiar song
Said I’d wait forever when you tried to set me free
Terrified I’ll wait for nothing, a moment without you still too long

It wasn’t supposed to be like this
Wasn’t supposed to end this way
Was there ever hope for us
Or was it just a fantasy
You were my gift, my darling little angel
You are my pain, my devil dressed in black

Awoke a trembling morning thinking of a promise made in vein
Was it a mistake, the words that had came from my lips
Am I a single passenger traveling on a one way train
The nights now lonely, the cold wind with its pelts and nips
My heart now missing you, filled with undying pain
