Now you say that all I touch will die, you never told me I would lose my green thumb
Found out everything will petrify, you tell me they will never live to become
Underground, I hate the sound of all my daughters turning to gold
Now they will never grow old
I’ll never get to hold you, I’ll never kiss or hug you, so it goes, so it goes
I’ll never get to see you, you’ll never grow to love me, once again, once again
Imagination tells a clever lie, but the picture’s nothing like the real thing
You must think I make a trembling cry, now it’s only in the name that I’m king
Scream I must, I turn to dust, the kind of love they sell at market
I couldn’t trade you for that
I’ll never get to hold you, I’ll never kiss or hug you, so it goes, so it goes
I’ll never get to see you, you’ll never grow to love me, once again, once again
I am the one who’s cursed now, I am the one whose darkness
Led to my own undoing, What was the point pretending
I made my own decisions? Choice is the gods’ dominion
I thought it would be better, I thought it would be best for us
(Eat your words and own up to your past mistakes, you knew you would
Your self pity will not bring them back to life, they’re gone for good)
