Taken - Savage Hands

There was a time when I was younger and naïve

I thought we’d both be living forever, December

You used to tell me not to worry about my fears

As I grow old I’ll learn to defeat them, defeat them

I swear you said you were coming home

But the pain inside, it just took you away from me

You swore that you would make amends

With the way you left, will the memories ever end?

As we grew older you grew distant and afraid

Like your head was caving in under pressure, September

You left with the summer, let my world unfold

I’ll always be burdened by the fears that I hold

But you said I’d defeat them

Will the memories ever end?

I swear you said you were coming home

But the pain inside, it just took you away from me

You swore that you would make amends

With the way you left, will the memories ever end?

You’ll know someday why I just couldn’t stay

Why I was taken away

You’ll learn one day that I made the mistake

Of trading everything that I ever loved for feelings I can’t fake

For things I couldn’t replace

But I pray that you could learn to forgive me

I swear that I’ll change

I swear you said you were coming home

But the pain inside, it just took you away from me

You swore that you would make amends

With the way you left, will the memories ever end?
