Sheepwave - An Impossible Choice Lyrics

One will live and one will meet the end
A circumstance that I can't comprehend
I thought that time could be controlled
But now regret is all I hold
And I don't have a way to make amends
My arrogance displayed as I descend

If I save the one I've fought for
Then I will lose you

And all the time we had will fade away
There has to be a way to keep you safe
Impossible to choose
And I must bear the weight
And in the end I'm losing either way

I see the fears that you refuse to speak
Your theories start to cave beneath your feet
And as your world begins to fall
Those sullen eyes I thought were calm
Reveal the pain you've buried underneath
You're smile slowly breaking at the seams

My heart aches while yours is breaking
I swear I'll save you

So all the time we had remains unchanged
There has to be a way to keep you safe
Impossible to choose
And I must bear the weight
Or in the end I'll lose her all the same

The words you said have calmed the storm inside
But I don't have the strength to pay in kind
The crushing weight of what you face
Is shared inside our last embrace

Your final wish, a kiss to keep in mind
So now I bid the one I love goodbye
