You would hide a face of pain
Laugh at all the hurt before you
Nothing would cloud your smile
You were stronger than me
When she graced your life you changed
Past erased by a new-found presence
Walls that you once had built
Fell when she arrived
There came a beast, tore out your heart
Drained your blood while I watched
Before my eyes, you were destroyed
Left me there on my own
At times I did think you’d heal
When I saw the strength in your eyes
That glimpse would bring me hope
A beacon in the night
Soon hope would fade and you’d fall apart
Fallen angel of mine
Before our eyes, you were destroyed
Left us there on our own
Fell down, fell down
I reached out for your light
Failed to stay strong
As you let go of life
Not sure that time will heal
All the pain and hurt we suffered
Still, now is far from then
Nurtured by her laughter
Caged in your heart, striving to be
The beast will always haunt you
Wounds of the past shall bleed again
But you will heal by our side
Fell down, fell down
I reached out for your light
Failed to stay strong
As you let go of life
Failed to stay strong
But I will hold you now
