Lyrics
You sent me off without a warning
You departed from me abruptly, without forewarning
Wasn't just a threat and man, that was no joke
It wasn't merely an empty threat, and it wasn't a joke
Did you know you'd struck the final blow
Were you aware that you delivered the final devastating blow
To my faithful oxen hope?
To my enduring, steadfast hope?
We thought we knew we wanted what we had
We believed we were content with what we possessed
But you busted your side of the yoke
However, you failed in your share of the burden or responsibility
So I left with almost nothing but a gaping hole
Consequently, I departed with almost nothing but a profound emptiness
Yes, I did really went for broke
Yes, I indeed risked everything
No matter how much I weigh, like a boxer I train
Irrespective of my emotional burden, I persist like a boxer in training
Seems like the future is always gonna have its way
It appears that the future will always assert its influence
Knocking me down, should I fold or spread
Forcing me down; should I surrender or persist
My fortune hand on this hard rock bed?
Should I gamble my fate on this unyielding circumstance?
And I don't question, no, I don't doubt
I don't question or doubt anymore
Now that I've tried living with and without
Now that I've experienced life with and without something significant
That was a hard, hard muscle to grow
It was immensely challenging to develop that resilience
And harder still to let go
Even more challenging to relinquish it
We'd both commandeered a ship or two
We both took control of various situations
We'd had our fun, yeah, we had a few
We indulged in enjoyment, experiencing a few
And wheels spun around and water flowed
Time passed and events unfolded
In here deep before we felt the cold
Before we confronted the harsh reality
And the ride we rode had danger in
The journey we undertook contained hazards
We thought we could last while we were real strong swimmers
We believed we could endure because we were resilient
But we got flooded, yes, we got rolled
However, we were overwhelmed and defeated
And we both went down soon as you cut the rope
Both of us succumbed as soon as you severed the connection
I've been wondering lately if ever I'd find
I've been pondering lately if I'll ever discover
Someone to hold me like he wanted mine
Someone who will embrace me as if I were theirs
Should I give up or should I keep on trying?
Should I abandon hope or persist in my efforts?
Should I move on or should I keep on lying to myself
Should I move forward or continue deceiving myself?
By saying it's all better this way
Claiming that everything is improved in this manner
But all the life is gone, I want to stay
Nevertheless, vitality and essence have vanished, and I desire to remain
Now I've ruined it, you sound ages old
Now, it seems I've ruined it all, and you sound burdened with age
And I can feel that bearing down a part of my shoulders
I can feel that pressure weighing down on a part of my being
