lyrics

I hear her words
Echoing in my mind
Like a haunted glance
Or forever left behind
Tears burn my flesh
A molten offering of love
Pain that once was peace
Is now a burning offered dove

And I don't remember
Crying like the child
I don't remember
Crying like the child I've always been
But now that she's gone
I never wish to cry again

Oh God I scream for answers
To this riddle torture game
I never knew how to love
Until I heard her name
Oh which childhood sin
Has bought this penance stone?
'Cause if I'd known that I would love her
I would have lived alone

'Cuz I don't remember
Crying like the child
I don't remember
Crying like the child I've always been
But now that she's gone... now that she's gone
I never wish to cry again... no

I hear her words
Echoing in my mind...
