Crist - Chapter I Lyrics

I'd stand in raining fire
For the friend you were
But I had no desire
To keep you 'round
What a foolish mind
What a foolish choice
Who was I to hush your voice?
Playing God and playing my own soul
What a dream it could have been
Like the Garden of Eden
But I was your Eve
And you were only right to leave
Oh what you see
Wasn't what I was supposed to be
But I guess that's only
What this book wrote for me

And I flip this page
Turning over a new day
But what's a new day
If I can't enjoy the beauty
Of love now gone

I know you cried so much on those lonely nights
Wish I could have wiped a single tear
From those rosy cheeks
But they just kept dripping and dripping on
Like a waterfall
And the rain kept coming down
You still stood tall
To build that fragile wall

And I flip this page
Turning over a new day
But what's a new day
If I can't enjoy the beauty
Of love now gone
