Take Your Place

Set apart one finds at last
Coloured pictures in my mind
Falling for what you do best
Look at me with eyes that blind
You are everything I want

Measured every step you take
Hand in hand with my desire
Subject to your sullen fate
Thrown onto the funeral pyre
I am everything you want

Every second chance I stand to lose
Embrace a lie I once refused
Another spark of your abuse
With no excuse

State your case with humble lies
Turn your back and walk away
Brings to mind your alibis
And all the times you got your way
You are everything I'm not
You're everything and I am naught

Every second chance I stand to lose
Replay a lie I once refused
The final spark of your abuse
Take your place upon the stand

And now I know
We are spent and done
I want this
This face you hide, you hide it well
And the bitterness inside
But that was then and this is now
I won't be seeing you again
