At the foot of the hill where we first met
I buried the heart of what might have been
Broken promises shriveled into regrets
A bitter conviction carved in my skin
The only thing keeping my feet on the ground
Is the leaden memory holding me down
Ludmila tolls her mournful sound
For a while, babe, at least we had each other
I’m leaving you behind while I’m falling straight ahead
I’m left here to unwind but you won’t beat me in the end
In another life, maybe things could be different
Our spires climb and glitter like a flame
Maybe I could have been a bit less resistant
Instead I dread the taste of your name
Settle for something when it’s all that you find
A sliver of sunlight, a moment in time
The rain-slicked cobblestones pave our decline
We never had a fair chance anyway
I’m leaving you behind while I’m falling straight ahead
I’m left here to unwind but you won’t beat me in the end
I spin myself in circles looking for a reason
It’s lonely in the darkness of the night
Your rattle rasping words of treason
I’m dreaming so much brighter than your lights
I barely even tried to make this whole thing worth it
Distracting myself to kill the time
Fumbling for a sense of how this was worth it
But I never wanted to make you mine
I’m leaving you behind while I’m falling straight ahead
I’m left here to unwind but you won’t beat me in the end
