I gave my hand for you to hold
I gave my love that you went and sold
Exchanged our song for another
Can't blame this sad flame that once
Glowed like no other

How do you soften
The thought of carrying coffins?
We were so alive
Only to see us wither and die

You say you'd stand even if this would all fall
Your yearning, yielded when you hit the wall
I shooked your ears
Tried to make you hear my call
But you were long gone,
No hope in a sunless dawn

How do you soften
The thought of carrying coffins?
We were so alive
Only to see us wither and die
Oh, why must soil run dry

And I never ever thought I'd hear these words be said
Now I lay here in an unmade bed
Empty stomach's unable to be fed
Your ego swallowed you and from there you fled

So far away
Could not find your way back
Walked down the path
Where feet slipped through the cracks

Where feet slipped through the cracks
Could not find your way back
Where feet slipped through the cracks
Could not find your way back

How do you soften
The thought of carrying coffins?
We were so alive
Only to see us wither and die
Oh, why must soil run dry
