Falter

It all began that fateful day, I watched your tower burn (Watched your tower burn.)

And as I saw you slipping away, I just stood there scared.

Now as the ashes turn gray, I wait for your return. (Wait for your return.)

Your shadow still stalks me, making sure I hurt.



I wish I didn't falter, I wish you didn't hurt.

I wish I could've saved you, instead I watched you burn. (Oh, I watched you burn.)

I wish I didn't falter, I wish you didn't hurt.

I wish I could've saved you, instead I watched you burn. (Oh, I watched you burn.)



After that fateful day, only ruins remained. (Only ruins remained.)

As I sifted through the ashes, a single flower grew.

I picked it out from the ground, and called this flower hope. (Called this flower hope.)

It continued to grow, until the day you returned.



I wish you didn't falter, I wish I didn't hurt.

I wish you could've saved me, instead you watched me burn. (You just watched me burn.)

I wish you didn't falter, I wish I didn't hurt.

I wish you could've saved me, instead you watched me burn. (You just watched me burn.)



We tried our best to make it last, even without hope. (Even without hope.)

Then it shattered like a glass, nothing left unbroke.

The flower still remains, even if it's dead. (Even if it's dead.)

And I will cherish it, until you make it grow again.



Why did we falter? Why did we wait?

Why did we ignite the flames that burned away. (The flames that burned away.)

Why did we falter? Why did we wait?

Why did we ignite the flames that burned away. (The flames that burned away.)
