[Verse 1]

This part of the process, it stings me still; my heart is immobile

You walk in and my heart's beginning feverish dreams; my head starts to crumble

I can't stop taking notes and writing infinite cheques that won't cash til I'm dead

And I won't blink an eye until the ink runs out—no, I won't miss a thing

[Verse 2]

Your lips taste like fire in this Promethean dream, and now I want the sun

Oh, how I plan to ignite the forestry that I've grown, now that you’ve come to stay

Take it all: take my wisdom, take my gold and my heart

I was doomed from the start when you took to the quill and laid out everything, and you left me a scar

[Bridge]

But misery waits, biding Her time

She poisons the well, I learn to malign

As the signs that you gave echo forward in time

And you move onto the next in line

[Outro]

You cut me off—you cut me down

Now I'll never know what I could've found

Withered away; canceled within

Left to decay for unknowable sins

Y'sink to the stars, I'm one with the earth

But a million miles won't ease the hurt

So I talk in my sleep, I'll sing in my grave

About the day that the sun—it went away

[Coda]

Why couldn't you tell me where I went wrong?

Was it something I said? Or something I missed?

Why couldn't you tell me where I went wrong?

Why couldn't you tell me where I went wrong?
