Keeper of stories that weren’t mine to know
Bearer of secrets never meant to share
Another’s soul spilled out all over me
Then quickly sealed away as was supposed to be
Finding my way down a road laid for someone else
Nearly lost my head when the wall came down
Tried to push on through though I knew the truth
That what rested at the end was never mine to see
But oh for that brief moment I believed
And that assurance lifted me so far beyond my place
Comforted and carried me long past my destination
To where I could no longer see reality
Blinded by the way those moments made me feel
Taking it for granted that the experience was shared
Assuming I knew all the rules of the game
But I was the only one that cared to play
Too busy breaking my own heart in fantasy
To watch her walk away when asked
For something that she couldn’t give
Despite all that she’d taken from me
Not finding it within myself to let go
Of the last thing that held me aloft
Instead I grasped so tightly
And felt it as it slipped away
To trouble me from afar
