By the moonlight

I see your face

Shaped in the clouds

You call without a sound

 

You tried the night I left you

So small against the night

Said you could not live without this

That you could not make the fight

 

It came within a warning

But I did not see the signs

So tired and so defeated

I could not read between the lines

 

I read the words you left me

So heavy in my hands

Knowing I should have seen it coming

You tried to warn me of your plans

 

Would I have done things any different

If I had seen what you’d become?

Would I have told the lies you needed

Could I have changed what you have done?

 

I made the right decision

But it was you who took the fall

You died in fear and with uncertainty

But you cannot save them all
