Underoath - Cries Of The Past

Cries Of The Past

i t happened all so fast heavy wi th sleep my eyes closed
the next thi ng i remember was crawli ng out from the car and
seei ng you lyi ng there
holdi n your head ki ssi ng you for the last ti me
the taste of blood on my li ps
your clothes torn apart perfumed wi th gas
i t seems li ke i t was yesterday when the rai n poured down
i can sti ll hear your screams as i f i t was happeni ng all over agai n
saturday, december 4th that ni ght woudl become a grave
that would crush my heart
joy and laughter exchanged for gri ef and si lence
searchi ng for so long to fnd you and the moment
you were ri pped from me
layi ng here on thi s empty shelf never to be read agai n
i n these pages li es every memory of you
the wi nd blew your heart over my eyes and i slept for days
prayi ng not to awake, but these dreams can only last so long
faci ng the day looki ng through these tears
i ll always look back and remember that ni ght as you lay there
looki ng over that casket seei ng your face ti mes of past rushi ng
touchi ng your cold hand wi shi ng i t woudl touch me back
you look so pretty lyi ng thee just li ke the fi rst day we met
i t feels so real li ke olt ti mes but i ts nothi ng, i ts nothi ng
i can taste the stale ai r on my tongue and death li ghts up the sky
hope fi nds i tself i t and end stoppi ng at my thoughts
pi ctures of you help bri ng back the tears
walki ng i n the present but li vi ng i n the past
how much longer wi ll i embrace sorrow?
from the moment you entered my li fe
my whole outlook on love would change
you brought out a happi ness i di dnt even know i had
and now youve gone leavi ng wi thout a goodbye
that glass heart that rested i n my chest has fallen and shattered
here on lord i s the remai ns of a broken heart
for i have fai th you can gi ve me joy and li fe agai n
death has fallen but love covers me
heaven i s now home to my angel of love
