Lyrics Woods Of Ypres - You Were the Light

Your pretty causes,
Make great conversation
While another world is yearning
Painfully for an end

And who would save me now
Now that you are gone
And who will save you from yourself
You were the light
That shone brightly in the night
You were the light
That shone harshly on my life

Think of me when you are weak
But never when you are strong
Pretending that I'm ok
Or comfort when you are lost

And who would save me now
Now that you are gone
And who would save you from yourself
You were the light
That shone brightly in the night
You were the light
That shone harshly on my life
Close the door and cry,
I'll lock it out from the outside
Look down on me from the balcony
And hold the railing tight

And if you changed your mind
Then you are justified
And if you changed your mind
You know that you were right

And you would be just fine

The more you knew
The less you wanted to
You made all decisions our your own
And left me without a choice to choose

None of this
Will ever haunt you now
Since there is no one else
Accounting for your cruelty
You will see no consequence
And though I am not to blame
I suffer all the same

And who would save me now
Now that you are gone
And who would save you from yourself
You were the light
That shone brightly in the night
You were the light
That shone harshly on my life
You were the light
That flashed and left me in the dark
You were the light
The only light I'll ever known
You were the light
