remember when you told me that i was yours and you were mine every heartbeat , every breath , our love was perfect , our vows were sacred and , oh sweetheart , you know i tried so hard to tow that line , but there was a poison in my heart , and a darkness in my mind i was n't there when you were drowning though i 'd give my soul to take it back you had to leave me behind looking back , over the years of empty space , through the harshest rearview mirror , remembering the things i put you through now left to wonder , who 's come to take my place when i looked at you the world dissolved my poison cured , my darkness light i never did deserve you , sweetheart but in your arms my wrongs were solved my head was lowered , hands clenched , face wet with tears .
