The Overture

I should've seen this coming from you
I knew you'd leave
You always took an escape

My last thought of you
Just a shadow on the wall
That I still hold onto

But let's get something straight
You wanted nothing from me
And left the world on its knees
It's time for you to face facts
Don't come crawling to me
I've got a knife in my back

It seems I'm lost inside
A life that wasn't mine
You said you'd fight for me
Where do you draw the line?

I'm waiting for a chance
So I can shine
To show you that
I'm turning out just fine without you

Too blind to see
That you've lost a home
You're dead to me
And I don't speak with ghosts

I wasn't at fault
Why'd you bring this upon me?
I'll light the match and
Burndown your surroundings
'Cause I know where you're hiding
So try and stop me now
And as I rise you will fall

It seems I'm lost inside
A life that wasn't mine
You said you'd fight for me
Where do you draw the line?

I'm waiting for a chance
So I can shine
To show you that
I'm turning out just fine without you

I won't waste my time
Writing you goodbyes
But I'll leave you with just one last line

Did you know that every night
I spent crying out for hope
That you would just know
That I've been waiting
For you to come home
But I'm well enough alone

(I should've seen this coming from you)

I woke up to my life just slipping away
I'm lost and abandoned
I need an escape
And as the silence fills the room

Drown in your regret
