Lyrics The Dillinger Escape Plan

The Dillinger Escape Plan

Widower

You were a face in the crowd

I Threw myself onto you

I tried to take you away

I didn't know how to do

But I could not give you the most

Some things I said were never true

Yet still we clung to a ghost

I feel so bad you never knew

I felt like you should know but I could not tell you so

When you walked away I breathed your name

As you walked away

As you walked away

We can never get back what we choose to throw away

When you walked away I breathed your name

As you walked away

As you walked away

We can never get back what we choose to throw away

I don't know how to hold onto something

That seems determined to grow by the day

Every time, I think I can handle

You only seem to get farther away

I never realized just how hard it was for a person like me to do

For a person like me to do

When you walked away I breathed your name

As you walked away

As you walked away

We can never get back what we choose to throw away

When you walked away I breathed your name

As you walked away

As you walked away

We can never get back what we choose to throw away

I couldn't watch you wishing for something

That seemed more impossible by the day

Anytime I saw your expression

I only seemed to run farther away

I never realized just how hard this was for a person like me to do

Obsessed with thoughts that deform

Held on by hope too well worn

Crippled because of dreams that eclipse reality

Crashing into truths we don't perceive

We don't perceive

I couldn't hold on to

The things that mattered to you

It was my big mistake

Thinking there were two roads to take

As you walked away

As you walked away

As you walked away

As you walked away

As you walked away

As you walked away

As you walked away

As you walked away
