I gave up on you
You were someone not meant for me
Your stimulus cast shadows of sin around me
You were hot to the touch
Burning my skin
You were fire to my water.

But somehow you seem to return to me
Time does not care
There is no purging of dreams and memories
I was once blind
I was once stubborn
I was once bleeding.

I gave up on you
And I silenced you
No more power over me
But still you changed me.

Love will come again
Distant shores separate us
And dusk falls
And our love's forever gone
I gave up on you.
I gave up on....

Even rage ends
Your fires burned out
And you were the tempest
You were Babylon
You were Judas Iscariot.

You were fire to my water
You were the burning tempest to my maelstrom
And you are now forever gone.

I gave up on you.
