Hands held close, pulled away Somewhere far, far from here Secured into shadows, eyes still blind To be yours but never mine Dear angel of departure I'll never forgive you, as long as I live The sorrow swells inside Eyes burn as I cry chlorine tears Seared onto frail skin You've made your final mark on me Confessed with trails of death Painted by your work of silence (silence) Confessed with trails of death I am painted by your work of perfection This can't be happening This can't be happening This can't be happening Dear angel of departure I'll never forgive you Seared onto frail skin You've made your final mark And I, I'll cry chlorine tears tonight I could only bear to witness Before I was taken by a light that blinds This can't be happening This can't be happening (And maybe someday the hurt will stop burning) I could only bear to witness Before I was taken by a light that blinds And maybe someday, the hurt will stop burning Hands held close, pulled away Somewhere far, far from here Secured into shadows, eyes still blind To be yours but never mine This can't be happening
