Watching Candles Die
Echoes of Silent Goodbyes: Jules Avalon's Poignant Reflections
Lyrics
You said you wouldn't let me down
You promised not to disappoint me
Yet here we are again
Despite your promise, we find ourselves in the same situation again
No I won't pretend that I'm not hurting this time
I won't pretend that I'm not in pain this time
My heart sinks deeper as you say you're just fine
My sadness intensifies as you claim everything is okay
Oh and how you said
Recalling your assurances
You'd be alright
You claimed you would be fine
Oh and how you said
You mentioned you had seen some positive change or improvement
You'd seen some light
Highlighting past expressions of optimism
I can see the vanity in your eyes
I can detect arrogance or self-importance in your gaze
As you say your final goodbye
You bid a final farewell
Well, white doves too can cry
Even those who seem pure and peaceful can experience pain
Yea
A confirmation or agreement
Could have watched you waste away
I could have witnessed your gradual decline
Would have been easier that way
It might have been simpler if you had deteriorated in front of me
But who am I to turn a blind eye
I cannot ignore the truth
After you held me in your arms, and listened to me cry
After you provided comfort and listened to my sorrows
Oh and how you said
Recalling previous claims of overcoming challenges
You'd beat this fight
You declared you would triumph over difficulties
Oh and how you fought
Reminiscing about your struggles for what is right
To be in the right
You fought to be on the correct path
All by yourself, only pride by your side
Alone, with only pride as your companion
Forgetting life is better alive
Neglecting the fact that life is better when lived
Forgetting white doves too, can cry
Forgetting that even seemingly pure things can experience sorrow
