These words were yours
You left them blank
This song was always yours to take
You gave me one line, then you left
I waited three year's time for empty words that don't impress:
"I guess it's for the best."
My heart grows cold when my mind wanders
Remember when our hearts were full of thunder?
Those days have all but slipped away
What's left of your bold, black ink...it's fading grey
These words were yours
You betrayed them
Like you betrayed me, like you'll betray him
I gave you the beat...the rhyme...the rhythm
You disappeared the second that you heard yourself in them
