I’ll always remember the day we first met
The fires of September still burning their best
The skies full of smoke, full of promise, of anything possible
It felt like a dream to feel safe in your arms
Despite all the warnings I fell for your charms
The earth opened up like desire
It was unstoppable
Oh you lay down your history, your battle scars
All I could see where the stars
So I don’t want to blame you
But my heart is shattered
How could you leave us like none of it mattered?
This kind of love comes once
Maybe twice if you’re lucky
And time’s running out
So while you talk to me, tell me your troubles
I’m right here beside you, the calm in your storm
But you kissed me and walked away into your wilderness
You came back to beg me
I bought what you sold
I gave my forgiveness
I set the bar low
‘Cause all along you had another life somewhere
With somebody other than me
Oh I let myself down in the name of love
Chasing illusions of you
So I don’t want to blame you but my heart is shattered
I should have known better, I should have run fast
But this kind of love comes once
Maybe twice if you’re lucky
And time’s running out
‘Cause you threw my world into chaos and fire
My senses corrupted, I lost all control
You kissed me and walked away into your wilderness
We do the best we can with the tools that we’ve got
But a home can’t survive on a foundation of rot
There’s no pretty words to dress up the betrayal
As anything but what it is
So I guess I can blame you ’cause my heart is shattered
You took what you wanted like none of it mattered
This kind of love comes once
Maybe twice if you’re lucky
Your luck is all run out
So don’t try to tell me you’re sorry
I’m so tired of all of your bullshit, your weakness and fear
You can take yourself into your wilderness and disappear
