You chose August
I don't want to see
Won't you pull this night
Tightly around me
On the street
I see you and me
You see my love
You will always mean more to me
My grip is slipping
My heart is ripping
What happened to us
Now I know
All these photos prove
What I have feared the most
Im too scared to move
The train is coming
I await my doom
I'll die in silence
What could I do
Break down the gates
Pretend to feel
Something more than hate
Scream out loud
Until I faint
You chose August
I can find peace
I can find solace here
Knowing he can't make you feel
The way I do
And you're reminded
When you lay next to him
Each time you close your eyelids
Its me you see
Walking the winters
The spring and fall
We had the summers
He can't have you all
We were a dangerous idea
He knew it
It sank into him
His secret fear
So he bathed you in kindness
Smothered you until you were blinded
And chose August
