When I Was Brave

Poetry ~ Lyrics

* We know I loved you, But you were not, really there, With your arms around me, And your words, full of care.

For a hundred reasons, I could be stone cold, washed-out, bitterness.

I thought I saw you, In centuries of black and white, Still the ghost of longing, Follows me in a different life.

Oh I could stand the madness, If you would leave your hand, in mine.

When I was brave, so brave … I let my, love drown.

In sudden waves … They say I, sailed my, way out.

But how could I, Ever sail my, way out …

We know I loved you, But you were not really there, Though you’re made of kindness, A better offer was had instead.

So for the longest time, I have been sleeping in, my chair.

When I was brave, so brave … I let my, love drown.

And now we’re dead … They say I, sailed my, way out.

But how could I, Ever sail my, way out …
