My stake in this

a story of being lead to a dry well to drink

Spare me...your broken hearted memories
Set free...the soul chained to what can't be

I wish only the best for you
But why do I swim in this sea
This sea that's so blue
Words you say, won't set me free
What you do, pushes me away
Sitting alone alone atop your hill
With only the games you play
The only love you want, is the one you kill

And the fault is not mine, but yours
A ship run aground on rocky shores
Sinking far enough to drown and still be seen
I only wish, I could wash my hands clean
Then yours eyes, your eyes say you want me
On this chain is where I'll be

Things I do,he won't even try
The smile on display, so you won't cry
Like a child, you are drawn to only what you know
Afraid to see the world I can show
Finding solace in the turmoil of deceit
Changing nothing causes life to repeat
Your breath carries empty words, as it seems
I can't make them true, if you won't let me in your dreams

And the fault is not mine, but yours
A ship run aground on rocky shores
Sinking far enough to drown and still be seen
I only wish, I could wash my hands clean
Then yours eyes, your eyes say you want me
On this chain is where I'll be

But my tears are like the tide
Washing the footprints from the sand of time
As you walk on the shores of my heart
Back to the shipwreck from where it starts
Can't you see it will never sail
Please show me that you want me, I swear that I won't fail
Or as you walk away, away into the dusk
You will look back, to the chain where I once was
