Ringing, singing, lingering where I don't belong

I knew from the start

I was ignorant and chose to live in what I knew was wrong 

My cold and brittle heart

Has decided to forgive and miss 

You are just as damaged as I

I think I’m willing to take the risk

I thought I’d take your hand and together we would cry

But you wanted a strong oak

It's not what I have

“Please don't go” but the words got caught in my throat

It's not what I have

The world around me is crumbling

It's not what I have

I'm lost, looking for you and stumbling

It's not what I have

The anger once a giant inferno falls to a dying flame

It's not what I have

It was put out, your sorrowful face being the rain

It's not what I have
