Wilderness

Lyrics by：Sarah McLachlan

I'll always remember the day we first met

Fires of September still burning their best

The sky full of smoke full of promise

Of anything possible

It felt like a dream to feel safe in your arms

Despite all the warnings I fell for your charms

The earth opened up like desire

It was unstoppable

You lay down your history your battle scars

But all I could see were the stars

So I don't want to blame you but my heart is shattered

How could you leave us like none of it mattered?

This kind of love comes but once maybe twice if you're lucky

Time's running out

So why won't you talk to me? Tell me your troubles

I'm right here beside you the calm in your storm

But you kissed me and walked away into your wilderness

You came back you begged me I bought what you sold

I gave my forgiveness I set the bar low

'Cause all along you had another life somewhere

With somebody other than me

I let myself down in the name of love

Chasing illusions of you

So I don't want to blame you but my heart is shattered

I should have known better I should have run faster

But this kind of love comes but once maybe twice if you're lucky

Time's running out

So why won't you talk to me? Tell me your troubles

I'm right here beside you the calm in your storm

But you kissed me and walked away into your wilderness

We do best we can with the tools that we've got

But a home can't survive a foundation of rot

There's no pretty words to dress up the betrayal

As anything but what it is

So I guess I can blame you 'cause my heart is shattered

You took what you wanted like none of it mattered

'Cause this kind of love comes but once maybe twice if you're lucky

Your luck is all run out

So don't try to tell me you're sorry

I'm so tired of all of your ******** your weakness and fear

You can take yourself into your wilderness

And disappear
