Widower

Lyrics for Widower

You were a face in the crowd I Threw myself onto you I tried to take you away I didn't know how to do But I could not give you the most Some things I said were never true Yet still we clung to a ghost I feel so bad you never knew I felt like you should know but I could not tell you so When you walked away I breathed your name As you walked away As you walked away We can never get back what we choose to throw away When you walked away I breathed your name As you walked away As you walked away We can never get back what we choose to throw away I don't know how to hold onto something That seems determined to grow by the day Every time, I think I can handle You only seem to get farther away I never realized just how hard it was for a person like me to do For a person like me to do When you walked away I breathed your name As you walked away As you walked away We can never get back what we choose to throw away When you walked away I breathed your name As you walked away As you walked away We can never get back what we choose to throw away I couldn't watch you wishing for something That seemed more impossible by the day Anytime I saw your expression I only seemed to run farther away I never realized just how hard this was for a person like me to do Obsessed with thoughts that deform Held on by hope too well worn Crippled because of dreams that eclipse reality Crashing into truths we don't perceive We don't perceive I couldn't hold on to The things that mattered to you It was my big mistake Thinking there were two roads to take As you walked away As you walked away As you walked away As you walked away As you walked away As you walked away As you walked away As you walked away
