Yeah…
Modesty.
I
never
thought
I’
d
have
to
say
this.
But
the
silence
is
louder
than
your
words
ever
were.
I
remember
the
way
you
looked
at
me
back
then
Like
I
was
the
only
soul
in
this
world
of
men
I
gave
you
my
trust,
I
gave
you
my
peace
I
thought
the
fire
in
our
hearts
would
never
cease
But
every
whisper
was
a
rehearsed
lie
A
beautiful
mask
beneath
a
summer
sky
You
held
my
hand
while
your
mind
was
elsewhere
Feeding
me
dreams
while
you
were
stripping
me
bare
I
was
deep
in
the
fall,
sinking
in
the
blue
While
you
were
just
playing,
passing
time
with
the
truth
Oh,
Modesty,
you
tore
it
all
apart
Left
a
hollowed-out
space
inside
of
my
heart
I
thought
it
was
love,
but
it
was
just
a
game
And
now
I’
m
the
one
burning
in
the
flame
I
know
your
heart
is
dancing
with
someone
new
And
all
the ‘
I
love
yous’
were
never
really
true
It’
s
hard
to
let
go,
hard
to
walk
away
But
there’
s
nothing
left
for
me
to
say
I
waited
for
sorry,
a
flicker
of
regret
Something
to
prove
that
we
hadn’
t
met
To
be
nothing
at
all,
just
a
page
you
could
turn
But
you
didn’
t
blink
while
you
watched
the
bridges
burn
You
acted
like
nothing,
like
the
pain
wasn’
t
real
Like
I
was
a
toy
you
could
break,
a
piece
of
steel
I’
m
struggling
to
breathe,
I’
m
struggling
to
see
How
you
could
look
at
me
and
hide
who
you’
d
be
I
gave
you
the
best,
the
raw
and
the
real
But
you
had
no
interest
in
how
I
would
feel
Oh,
Modesty,
you
tore
it
all
apart
Left
a
hollowed-out
space
inside
of
my
heart
I
thought
it
was
love,
but
it
was
just
a
game
And
now
I’
m
the
one
burning
in
the
flame
I
know
your
heart
is
dancing
with
someone
new
And
all
the ‘
I
love
yous’
were
never
really
true
It’
s
hard
to
let
go,
hard
to
walk
away
But
there’
s
nothing
left
for
me
to
say
I
can’
t
force
a
flower
to
bloom
in
the
snow
I
can’
t
force
a
heart
that
just
wants
to
go
I’
m
tired
of
knocking
on
a
door
that’
s
locked
tight
I’
m
stepping
out
of
the
shadows,
into
the
light
It
hurts
to
say
goodbye,
it
tears
me
in
two
But
I
refuse
to
be
a
second
choice
to
you
Oh,
Modesty,
you
tore
it
all
apart
Left
a
hollowed-out
space
inside
of
my
heart
I
thought
it
was
love,
but
it
was
just
a
game
And
now
I’
m
the
one
burning
in
the
flame
I
know
your
heart
is
dancing
with
someone
new
And
all
the ‘
I
love
yous’
were
never
really
true
It’
s
hard
to
let
go,
hard
to
walk
away
But
there’
s
nothing
left
for
me
to
say
I
believe
one
day,
the
tears
will
dry
I’
ll
stop
searching
for
you
in
every
goodbye
Maybe
one
day,
I’
ll
finally
be
free
Of
the
ghost
of
you,
Modesty.
Goodbye.
Yeah,
goodbye. (
Piano
fades
into
silence)
