Destroy and Deplete
We destroy and deplete
We so caught up in conceit
We tear down the protective armor around our hearts
only to tear at each other
Breaking pieces after piece
Remember the fall breeze
The day you got down on one knee
Now words are like weapons
We gear up on painful truths and bitter lies
We both refuse to lose those fights
We lost our sight
We cross-examined of why we just can't say goodbye
Remember the fall breeze
When you said you were in love with me
There for each others toughest days
The days addiction could take family away
Stayed on line for hours telling me everything will ok
The days addiction could take the childhood home away
Stayed on the line for hours telling you everything will be ok.
We no longer exist now it’s you and me.
You went left
I went right
We destroyed and depleted till nothing was left.
