Something Else Has Grown

Got yourself caught up in some trouble
But you were never one to be subtle
And all the bridges that you crossed
Burned behind you and then lost
At the time you did not realise
The price that it would cost

Now, your days are long and the nights last forever
And the broken hearts on a string that you severed
Hang like tinsel in your home
A hurt that won't leave you alone
And every time the wind sways them
It shakes you to your bones

But the time when you were in your prime
I thought that you would be mine
And I would be yours, and yours alone
But now the winds have blown
And all the seeds are sown
And something else has grown

Every now and then I'm reminded
Of when my heart left my head blinded
But now I can clearly see
Like a captive that's set free
That I was like the others tied to your string
How you pulled me

But the time when you were in your prime
I thought that you would be mine
And I would be yours, and yours alone
But now the winds have blown
And all the seeds are sown
And something else has grown

There comes a time when your past comes to haunt you
When you lose everything and the ones who had warned you
That this day would surely come
When all you made would come undone
And the truth of what you always were
Feels like something you've become

But the time when you were in your prime
I thought that you would be mine
And I would be yours, and yours alone
But now the winds have blown
And all the seeds are sown
And something else has grown
