You close your eyes and tell me when the love began to fade
You wilt and cry before you walk away
 
I could never give you what you need
What you needed from me
But you were my brightest light
 
Beside yourself with every word i level at your heart
Besides yourself, there's no one who can meet the girl you are
 
I could never give you what you need
What you needed from me
But you were my brightest light
 
Hurt, dismayed, and even worse, betrayed
I drown in vineyard's ink
We broke the future in two
But the shrapnel of you and your delusions, it stings
 
I could never give you what you need
What you needed from me
But you were my brightest light
