as we were
as before [bad word] to be
nevermore

as we fall [bad word] to be
nevermore
the fool
to regret
to repent
to forget

as our hurt
devastates
as our hopes
dissipate

turning joy
into pain
as our love
turns in vain

so we now
close the door
as we were
nevermore

day of birth
be alive
leaning now
to survive

to move on
without ache
humbler
within grace

within hope
dawn of spring
to the start
all that sadness brings
