When you cheapen something
That I hold so close
When you’re so far gone from me
Many times the sun rose

The scent of anger in my head
And the betrayal of a friend
The crime of stranger yet again
Can’t bring about amends

I’m not giving up on you
That’s the last thing I heard
Before dashing what was true
It’s done now I’m sure
