What Is Left

by Elliott Lica   Apr 5, 2007


A promise broke, a lie told,
A relationship falls, a friendship ends,
A scar left, a life lost,

I can't believe what happened, all in a flash, it happened so quick,
I couldn't stop it, I was too weak, I'm sorry,
I watched you fall, and made no attempt to help,
He shot you with me standing there, why couldn't it be me,
You lie there in my arms, the villain gone, smiling at me,
You say I'm sorry, I can't accept it, I cry,

A promise broke, a lie told,
A relationship falls, a friendship ends,
A scar left, a life lost,

In such despair my sorrow turns to rage, you make me promise,
I promise to get revenge, justice must be served,
Your voice soft and calm, you beg me to do nothing,
I can't let you die, I love you too much,
Please baby, stay with me,

A promise broke, a lie told,
A relationship falls, a friendship ends,
A scar left, a life lost,

It's my fault for this, I'm so sorry,
Please stay with me, I'll make everything alright,
I love you, the last words that leave your lips,
Your eyes go dark, you die there in my arms,

A promise broke, a lie told,
A relationship falls, a friendship ends,
A scar left, a life lost,

Blinded by grief and hate, I run off,
I find the man that stole your life, and fix it all,
The man is dead, I cast judgment on him,
A life for a life, but now look at me,

A promise broke, a lie told,
A relationship falls, a friendship ends,
A scar left, a life lost,

I realize that the killer is me, if it weren't for me,
You would still breath, you would still live,
If it weren't for me, the man I killed,
Would still too live, my last decision I make alone,

A promise broke, a lie told,
A relationship falls, a friendship ends,
A scar left, a life lost,

My love is dead, and too my best friend,
I took both their lives, I am selfish,
Lord forgive me, and let me join them,
For them, I take my own life,
What is left...
