Taken

That night
When you walked away from me
I got lost in memories
Of a path that's taken me
So astray I can't believe

That it ended this way
A point where I don't want to stay
Praying to take me away
Knowing I can't be the same

One thing I know I can say
I've always fought for a change
And then, I knew my own name
Before it got lost in the pain
Who is this stranger today?
Staring me back in the face

Screaming about yesterday
All of the past laid to waste
Daring me to find a way
To relive all my mistakes

It's taking my life away
It's taking my heart away
It's taking my faith
It's taking my place
It's taking my light away

It's taken my life away
It's taken my wife away
It's taken my child
Thrown back by denial
Defeating me through these futile trials

And I find my back against the wall
I'm feeling so empty and so small
It's taking my heart
So broken apart
As guilt swallows it back to the start

And as I find myself getting old
There's not that tomorrow that I've been told
There's never that place
Where I'm saved by grace
A clarity for my soul

And all the years have taken their toll
I'm growing so lonely and so cold
It steals my embrace
My essence replaced
By hopelessness that unfolds
Its hold
