Just The Echo Of What Could Never Remain

"I tried to bend, to fit your mold

To change my ways, to grow old

But like a tree that's rooted deep

My nature's strong, my soul does keep

I can't transform, to suit your eyes

My true self, I cannot compromise

But what I can do, is walk away

Leave you to sorrow, night and day

My heart once beat, with love so true

But now it's broken, shattered in two

I'll leave you with tears, and a lonely space

A reminder of what could never be replaced

I'll go my way, and you'll go yours

Two paths that part, like closing doors

No more longing, no more pain

Just the echo of what could never remain"
