Lyric

Pity or Departure

Tera Kira

"I believe in you" — I say it like a habit now

But every time I speak, I feel the fading of the vow

The colors wash away, the light begins to die

Beneath the heavy pressure of a beautiful lie

Like a sorrowful flower, scattered by the breeze

Watching the petals fall and bring me to my knees

Stay until the end, don't look the other way

As the last of our summer turns into gray

Drowning in the memory of nights we spent so warm

Searching for a shelter in the middle of the storm

Even my sighs are wandering, lost within the dark

Trying to reignite a long-extinguished spark

If I just admitted it, the weight would finally fall

I’d be free and easy, standing straight and tall

But my heart is stubborn, it won't play the game

It refuses to forget the echo of your name

I can't deceive the spirit, I can't trick the soul

The truth is a fracture I can never make whole

"I understand it all" — I tell myself the lie

While hollow words are bleeding from a throat that’s gone so dry

A sorrowful flower, clinging to a ghost

Desperate for the thing that I’m needing the most

If you only feel pity, then throw me far away

Don't leave me to wither in the light of the day

I’ll hold onto the joy of when we two were one

A golden reflection of a long-setting sun

If I could just forget you, the mist would surely clear

And wash away the shadows and the salt of every tear

But my heart is a witness that I cannot deny

Holding onto every "hello" and "goodbye"

Drowning in the memory of nights we spent so warm

Where the touch of your skin was my only uniform

Even my breath is shaking, shivering with cold

Telling a story that has already been told

If I just admitted it, the weight would finally fall

I’d be free and easy, standing straight and tall

But my heart is stubborn, it won't play the game

It refuses to forget the echo of your name

The color is fading

The flower is gone

I can't lie anymore

My heart knows

It's over

I know
