Lyric

Wandering lost in a dream of my own

A hazy world where I felt so alone

I didn't notice you standing so near

I didn't see that you’d finally appeared

By the time I woke, it was already too late

You vanished like smoke through a closing gate

That pure, innocent smile of a saint

Made me gentle, free from any taint

Are those days gone? Is the memory hollow?

I was the one with the salvation to follow

Carrying burdens, a heavy, dark load

Confused and distracted on my own road

I couldn't find space to care for your soul

I couldn't find a way to make you my goal

Time ran away like a race being won

While you started fading like the setting sun

That pure, innocent smile of a saint

Made me gentle, free from any taint

Have those days bleached out and turned into white?

I was the one who was seeking the light

I’ll take the sins, I’ll take the blame

I’ll take the fire, the lightning, the shame

Just let me carry the weight of the fall

Give me the punishment, give me it all

Just stay as you are, beautiful and true

Don’t let a single bad dream come to you

That pure, innocent smile of a saint

It was the only thing keeping me sane

Are those days gone?

I’m finally awake to the truth and the pain

I was the one being saved

Only me
