Paved In Sorrow
I failed to protect you
From the storm
Drenched in regret
Mistakes in my trembling hands
My fears always get the best of me
And even though I can't reach you
I feel my heart split in two
As the years pass
Weakened by disorder
Evil tangled in the frays
I accept the blame
I will be the weight that grounds you
The blood that you bleed
Fills this heart of mine
Born your blood companion
Sworn to keep you safe
If you grow to resent me
I understand
And I'll be here waiting
I've traveled that same road
Paved in sorrow
Lonely, blistered and cold
I will be the weight that grounds you
Immaculate design
Your soul made for mine
Haunted by abandonment
The same ghost that still holds you
Born your blood companion
Sworn to keep you safe
If you grow to resent me
I understand (I understand)
And I'll be here waiting
