And I set stones on your sanctum shrine Wrote down a few words so I could remember Remember that it's not your death that hurts the most It's the sadness that I kept growing between us Drifting from places where I always felt stuck and in the way Lost in the winds of summertime departures And I hate to say, but I told you so So many times before We're all set to lose One way or the other We're all set to lose In the end And I see now And I hate to say I told you so So many times before Oh I see now And it's not the fights, the fights we had That kept me away from you I've been sticking around, as long as I could I've been sticking around, as long as I could For you to decline my care, my invitations The lantern's tired, the fog's still growing Shadow's howling, shadow's howling Waiting to take you away from me, to fly away, to fly away with you And I'm tired, and I hate to say I told you And I set stones on your sanctum shrine Wrote down a few words so I could remember That it's not your death that hurts the most It's the sadness that I kept growing between us And I see now And I hate to say I told you so So many times before Oh I see now And it's not the fights, the fights we had That kept me away from you And I see now And I hate to say I told you so So many times before Oh I see now And it's not the fights, the fights we had That kept me away from you
