Soft Side

Remember that night, when you composed my soul, and stole the source of light

We tried to reunite, but every spell I spoke broke the line of sight

You sang at all the right times, hulled color up a flooded mountain side

My mind was stuck like a kite, climbing higher, but still motionless and white

I -I'm still colorless inside

You should have left when you had the chance to run

Closed your eyes and pulled the trigger on that gun

You put soft side, inside the limelight

But couldn't save me from who I would become

You never wanted to admit that I was wrong

You let me go alone, framed the photograph you knew I loved the most

Letters sewn below friends and mentors who raised me as their own

You walked me between the lines, but when we reached the door, you went inside

I did my best, but lost the fight. Still growing up -- just lost inside the sky

I -I'm still colorless inside

You should have left when you had the chance to run

Closed your eyes and pulled the trigger on that gun

You put soft side, inside the limelight

But couldn't save me from who I would become

You never wanted to admit that I was wrong
