Things Aren't So Beautiful Now (Part 2)

Seems like years as the telephone rings,

Chokes and gasps at the awful new it brings.

The phone call she's been avoiding,

She knows he's reached the end.

Hooked up to the respirator,

Breathes life into my callus lungs.

My heartbeat's getting fainter,

You know my time has come.

It's getting colder,

Been trying to show her that I'm not the one,

To be there beside her, now I'm crossing over

can no one console her?

I know she'll remain,

with no way to end this pain.

No one seems to realize, the things that I,

The things that I've done to you.

Why do you paint your love with all your heart,

with all that a heart can give.

Intentions that you'll never know,

The reason why I had to lead astray.

I gave you a last time, a painted remorse.

(Mistakes that were never yours)

The wrong in my life can never be right,

(it flashes before my eyes...)

(How did he come to this,

His mind is working harder then ever before,

Thousands of thoughts in seconds,

His last thoughts were of her...)

(And how he and he alone had destroyed the once

vibrant spirit he had inherited so deeply.

The last pain he had ever caused is to the only

woman that had ever loved him..)

The bright light its calling me upward,

I follow and leave you below.

Now you're all alone,

And I leave you with nobody by your side

Not to hurt you ever again,

Never break your spirit's torment.

Now I'm all alone,

Still I cherish the things that you've given to me

Bright light is calling me upward, I follow and leave you below.
