So many years ago, I knew
The you I don’t know anymore;
You drained the tallow from my soul
And left me empty, vexed and sore
By plugging in, I gave you pow’r,
I take it back, it’s yours no more —
Forgiveness granted. Time to go,
And leave you there
On mem’ries shore
The candle burned within her hand,
The scent of winter season –
I loved her; she’d no use for me,
But with some reason
The way that I remember things,
I was the one aggrieved;
I wonder now if my recall should really
Be believed
the day that she was married, i was there;
i played the music as she walked the aisle.
this girl i’d thought one day would be my bride
walked towards her fiancee with such a smile
as men would die or kill for – either one.
she needed music, i said i’d assist:
i wanted to be close to see it all
a sort of faux-romantic masochist
but after all was said and done that day,
i listened to an appalachian song;
and let die out the candles of the past
admitting she and i
had just been
wrong
But wait, you… you never loved me?
You’re back with your old boyfriend?
Is that what this was all about?
But wait, let me guess. It’s
Because I’m such a gentleman, right?
Easily controlled, more like it.
You used me…
You never cared about me at all
Just a way to have some fun and
Make him jealous
Well it worked, congratulations
What do you mean, you never lied to me?
This whole thing was a lie…
Why did you do this to me?
I loved you
I think the candle’s gone out
It’s like I’m not even here
It’s like I’m not even
A man
But when she spoke in whispers, she
Would pierce right through the heart of me;
Those nights we spent in candled dreams
And agony
And ecstasy
