The Water's Edge (Stripped Version)

The Glass Child

Fallen by the water's edge
can't get up on my knees
The rose of truth
the thorns it grew
our love far out at sea
Throw me all your secrets
and then turn them all on me
This rain falls like a symphony
the storm we grew to be
I'm taking back my rights
I don't need your love to fly
I'll justify tonight
My heart beats like a tragedy
You left the pieces of me on the ground
then you turned around
I couldn't make a sound
And the dust of what's left of you and I
echoes in my mind
tonight
You will hear me walking dead at night
turning out the lights
Can we make things right?
I'll be anything you want
I'll learn to love you secretly
Show me where forever died
take me back to that night
Oh please just stay, I'll change my ways
I'll swear to make things right
I think I built a home in you
A place for me to stay
I held too tight, I sacrificed
to always take the blame
I'm taking back my rights
I don't need your love to fly
I'll justify tonight
My heart beats like a tragedy
You left the pieces of me on the ground
then you turned around
I couldn't make a sound
And the dust of what's left of you and I
echoes in my mind
tonight
You will hear me walking dead at night
turning out the lights
Can we make things right?
I'll be anything you want
I'll learn to love you secretly
They say that time will heal, but I can't seem to find the cure
You ask if I'm okay but I'm not welcome anymore
We perished each alone the way the night turns into dawn
and now I kneel in the night
You left the pieces of me on the ground,
Turn around
Make no sound
You and I
in my mind
every night
You won't return
Die or learn
Kill the hurt
In my mind
every night
lost the fight
Now I will love you secretly
