about

Being a song about profound loss.

lyrics

I couldn't save you, though I wish
The bifurcation in our paths had missed
Your sad eyes, the fear inside,
Left us hurting, left you to die,

I had to make a choice,
The moment that destroys,

We parted ways and we can't look back,
The gates are closed to the happy ending,
A choice was made, life was yellow, death was black,
I couldn't save you, I couldn't save you then,

We're trapped in simple obligations,
Trust, resources, and discourse,
But the weight of limitations
Compells with greater force,

I had to make a choice,
The moment that destroys,

We parted ways and we can't look back,
The gates are closed to the happy ending,
A choice was made, life was yellow, death was black,
I couldn't save you, I couldn't save you then,

Desire for a different outcome,
Concrete jaws, another victim,
City bustle, lost in the grime,
Some other place, some other time,

I had to make a choice,
The moment that destroys,

We parted ways and we can't look back,
The gates are closed to the happy ending,
A choice was made, life was yellow, death was black,
I couldn't save you, I couldn't save you then,
