[ You stood with me ]

You stood with me
You walked with me
You laughed with me
You cried with me
You even said
You'd die for me
And after all this time togther
You think I'd let you
But ten thousand days
Is too long for you
I know you love me
But I know every moment you're here
You suffer
For you belong somewhere else
So today my selfishness ends
And I set you free

Author notes

Not my normal style at all, but this is my inspiration from this quote for a contest:

'Ten thousand days in the fire is long enough,
Your going home'
From 10000 days(wings pt2) - Tool

I like to mix it up every once in awhile, what can I say.
