I walked in the shadows while you played in the sun.
I walked slowly as I watched you run.
I saw what they didn't, what you hide inside.
That brilliant smile of yours lied.
I saw the danger nipping at your heels.
I saw what you really feel.
I saw the cage that entrapped your soul.
I saw the brass instead of the gold.
I saw the broken heart.
I saw the soul torn apart.
As I watched you day by day,
I saw more of you drift away.
I saw your mind turning the bend
I heard your voice echo in the wind.
The brittle laughter that haunted my dreams
I watched as your tears began to stream.
I stood still and watched the clouds gathering overhead.
Wondering how long before your soul was dead.
I watched while you cried.
And I stood there waiting for it to die.
