The day we met my life was changed
I always heard that love was strange
And painful
Painful
One night you slept upon your side
Tangled in white you looked just like
An angel
Angel
So why did you fly away?
I been dying a little death
Since that very day
I used to laugh when you told me
You must forget and forgive to be free
Down by the water, dressed in black
I swore revenge to get you back
Hateful
Hateful
I made my camp upon the hill
Drank whiskey from the secret still
Blameful
Blameful
So why did you fly away?
I been dying a little death
Since that very day
I used to laugh when you told me
You must forget and forgive to be free
And I never could admit
The part I had in it
So this is what I get, my friend
Drunk in a field of scarlet snow
I reconciled with your ghost
In april
April
I stood before the hypocrite
There in the mirror brightly lit
Shameful
Shameful
Now I know why you ran away
And I been dying a little death
Since that very day
I used to laugh when you told me
You must forget and forgive
You must forgive just to live
You must forget and forgive to be free
