Wasting Away Lyrics

You said today you'd go away

The worst surprise but you smiled anyway

You said to me it's better this way

There were things that you just realized



The hardest of knives pulled from my side

And the pain of handing it back to you

Was the Little One so far away

Who would never see our distant shores



I waste away



I said today it'd be ok

The best-laid plan was to think that anyway

I said to you I'm better today

Knowing that it was a massive lie



The sharpest of knives pulled from our sides

We use on the ones we love

Can't cut away the rage and the pain

And the sounds of our cries



I waste away



Try as I might I cannot feel

It's impossible to heal
