Recompense
There's days when I imagine
An alternate life I'd live
Where nothing would have changed
Could I have left my hopes abandoned?
Become someone far removed in comforts hidden chains

Maybe unwillingly released
But now your free to

Hate me, say I didn't care
I threw it all away
In truth you were everything to me
My world, our universe
Where I lost myself
Can you accept my recompense?

Where there times when you felt stranded?
Alone in our double act
You chose a different vice
In deep, too deep to escape unharmed
Still stings like that yesterday
Weighs heavy on my mind
Maybe unwillingly released
But now your free to

No goodbye and no farewell
Will the wounds heal only time will tell

Can't loose you but I hid so long I began to fade
Can't loose you but we hurt so long
From pain peace will be made

No goodbye
We never said farewell
All those years
Wouldn't change them for the world
And for what it's worth
I'm glad I knew you
