That day.
That day you said goodbye
Something inside me changed,
Changed forever.
Forever.
Nothing could ever be the same.

You saw such potential
And I vowed to make you proud
But somewhere along the way, somewhere.....
Struggles.
Struggles.
So many troubles
And all that remained, a shell.

Eroded.
Eroded by storms of a good life gone wrong.
All the while you watched...
and wept.
Helpless against the fury of self-destruction

Failure surrounding, bright horizons grew dark.
So many chances to undo the damage,
fade away... away.
Like the memory, the vow, my promise to you.
..What have I done?..

You saw such potential
And I vowed to make you proud
But somewhere along the way, somewhere....
Struggles.
Struggles.
And only a shell remained.

And all the while you wept.
