Coffins

I gave my hand for you to hold
 I gave my love that you went and sold
 Exchanged our song for another
 Can't blame, this dead flame that once glowed like no other
 How do you soften the thought of carrying coffins?
 We were so alive only to see us wither and die
 
 ♪
 You said you'd stand, even if this would all fall
 Your yearning, yielded, when you hit the wall
 I shook your ears tried to make you hear my call
 But you were long gone, no hope in a sunless dawn
 How do you soften the thought of carrying coffins?
 We were so alive, only to see us wither and die
 Oh-whoa-ho-ho-oh, why
 Must soil run dry?
 And I never ever thought I'd hear these words be said
 Now I lay here in an unmade bed
 Empty stomachs unable to be fed
 Your ego swallowed you and from there you fled
 So far away, could not find your way back
 Walked down, the path where feet slip through the cracks
 Where feet slip through the cracks
 Could not find your way back
 Where feet slip through the grass
 Could not find your way back
 How do you soften the thought of carrying coffins?
 We were so alive only to see us wither and die
 Oh-whoa-ho-ho-oh, why
 Must soil run dry?
