Adopted Regret

Dead, I should of left you that way
I stayed around, even prayed
Despite the impact you had made
Long before I knew
The fractured lies, half truths
I was the one to save you

Despite my efforts it was made perfectly clear
You were fading away you forgot how to fear
But my selfish ways wanted to keep you here
I could see it in your eyes, death was near
You won't be buried

Took you home fixed your wounds
Mend your bones paid your dues
Took you home fixed your wounds
Mend your bones paid your dues

Stronger than you've ever been
Leave the dying to starve and weep
Emotions not retained
Recovery never came

Despite my efforts it was made perfectly clear
You were fading away you forgot how to fear
But my selfish ways wanted to keep you here
I could see it in your eyes, death was near
You won't be buried

You turned around bit the hand that feeds
You don't need me now you've found the light that beams
Overthrone, creator eats the dust
Left to fade away and decay like rust

You won't be buried, you'll be burned alive
I should've never let you survive.
