-EXile-

 

I begged for you to let me in

to start anew, to try again

to make a better life for two

To make a "we" of me and you

Three times you turned and went astray

Three times escaped, pushed me away

 

Now I'll not try ever again

and all good things, they say, must end

No, this is done forevermore

This time I shut and lock my door

God forgive me, I have sinned

But I would not torture my friend

 

Toy with a heart, play with a mind

day in, day out, til end of time

destroy a trust and break a heart

take what we built, tear it apart

Take what you want and burn the rest

It's all for you, you loved it best

 

Just give me peace, now leave me here

and darken not my doorstep, dear

Oh, yes, a time may come someday

that I'll miss you, wish I could say

or do something to make you smile

that's all I wanted, all the while!

 

But when I weigh the bitter odds

take stock of all effect and cause

I know I will be stronger still

through battle scars and iron will,

resist the urge to call your name

and fall back in your twisted game.

 

So this is it, it's over now

we both will make it through somehow

and each a separate path will take

and independent lives we'll make

The best of luck I wish for you

In all you want, in all you do

 

And when it all is said and done

your wars are fought and battles won

and you return to darkened home

to lay at night in bed alone

I hope it will be worth it then.

You'll never know my love again.
