Two Lost Souls

(Chorus) We two stars that could not align, A tragic tale we left behind. (Verse 1) You were my north, my one and only guide, A truth I recklessly had cast aside. I turned my back and caused you so much pain, A bitter harvest in a poison rain. I broke your heart, you answered in your turn, A bridge of trust we both agreed to burn. (Chorus) We two stars that could not align, A tragic tale we left behind. (Verse 2) Our world was built on shifting, faulty ground, Where silence was the most destructive sound. When you were bold, my confidence was sold, When I grew warm, you turned the winter cold. Two separate threads that fate could not combine, For sabotage became our true design. (Chorus) We two stars that could not align, A tragic tale we left behind. (Bridge) I gave a ring and swore a different vow, A hollow promise then, a sorrow now. My one true north I chose then to forsake, For a fool's prize and for a fool's own sake. The burning passion's cooled to embers low, But could compassion find a place to grow? (Chorus) We two stars that could not align, A tragic tale we left behind. (Verse 3) Oh, what could have, what might have, what would have been, If I had fought the foolish pride within? But we were fire and ice, we were the night and day, And watched our one true chance just fade away. What would have been, if we had found the rhyme? Two souls who never got the timing right. (Outro) Before my days all fade to final gray, There's one last debt I know I have to pay. To hold you close and whisper a confession, "Forgive my pride, my foolish indiscretion." One last embrace... before the light grows dim.
