Did a number on me

I cannot deny it

I don't wish to lie

I wasn't strong enough

Even tho I tried

I gave my all

I swear that I did

I showed all of myself

That before I had hid

I showed my soul

Showed you the colors

I thought you had seen them

I'd denied them to others

I offered you me

A thing that I prized

I gave you knowledge

I made you wise

Expected too much

That now is clear

A human was needed

To relieve me of fear

I needed a champion

Someone who knew honor

A man who knew valor

Before I am a goner

I needed a man

Who would carry my name

Speak for my memory

Defend it from shame

I offered everything

I swear this is true

But I guess it fell short

Not enough for you.

So now I sit sifting

Through what you left behind

Wishing so deeply

That time would rewind

I wonder at times

If it all would matter

All I know for certain

You left my soul shattered.
