What’s left but an empty heart beating
Gone by wintertime as the daylight fades
Held fast by the fireside that’s heating
The vacant shore by which it stayed
Lost like love likes to live in lies
Forgotten treasure of another time
Golden hearts that no longer shine
Gleaming dull in endless light
Aching for a shadow to swallow them whole
Lost like jealousy justifies your jadedness
Gone is freedom, joy, and forgiveness
The same way you always long for less
Time with her and you simply confess
She leaves you longing for your lost soul
