Anyway

Once, in another life,
In another place, in another time
I knew it was wrong to stay
But I did anyway

First, the longing was a game,
We watched shadows dance past the candle’s flame
And I knew it was wrong to play
But I did anyway

Where were you in the quiet times
In the dark corners of my mind
Where thoughts of you are filled with sadness
Because you smiled at me

You tied my heart in knots
Broke your promises, stained my afterthoughts
And you, you took my soul away
And I let you anyway
