I Thought You Would Be The One

Walking in around in your cloud of misery

It's hard to see what's tripping me

I can't get a grip to save my life

As I wander in this fog you call love

There's no one around that can save me

I'm left wallowing within your swamp

Followed constantly by your moving logs

Trying to avoid the sneaky snakes in your bog

Listening to the call of your Coo Coo Birds

There's only glimpses of the sunshine peeking thru

Giving me hope that there's still a path away from you

A safe way to retreat far away from your insanity

I need some kinda clue to point me they way

For your moss grows around all sides of the tree

I thought you were the one

To free my lonely soul.

I thought you would be the one

To show my love how to grow.

I thought you could see

What's deep inside of me.

I thought you could believe in me

As I have always believed in you.

Don't you see the imprint that we see?

Can't you feel the indentation that you left?

There's the heavy burden we all load

The vessel that we are carries what you need

It's just another day

One that will lead the way

Thru the years and tears

You know our fear always blocks the sun

We never ever see it when it comes

It could be a devil in disguise

Or maybe an angel answering a prayer

It's always tough to know which one it is

When we're all torn between them and our sins

There's always a question that lingers

The bitter taste left on our tongues

Is the answer lying just beyond

Why in the world would you do this me?

Didn't I cherish you properly?

Showering you with all my loving charm

Now you bring down the heavens

Upon me and you and our true love

Wasted were the stars above

While I chased it with you and the moon

All that's left now is the darkness

Covering everything with its gloom

Don't you even miss it

What was the perfect love

Sure we had our good times

And then there was the bad times too

Well we always made it through them

That's still no reason why

Just to throw it all away

They say our love is seasoned thru

It must be just right for me and you

You know it takes time to believe in

Building it up stone after stone

But now you decided to bring it all down

You sip from my loving cup

And then you spit on my soul.

You take my love so willingly

And then you drain it of all its blood.

You captured my poor heart

And then you cut me to the bone.

You twist your poison knife

And then you cut my life in two.
