Cathedral Hills - Penitence Lyrics

Some time has passed and these wounds have scarred
Leaving traces of my remorse
How did you think we would react?
To you being gone and never coming back
The feelings inside me have brewed
Are filling me, regret consumes
I would've faced your demons with you
But how can I when I'm dealing with mine too?

How could you leave so easily?
I stayed strong for you, now who's left for me?
So tired and weak could hardly speak
Yet I was there through everything
How could you accept this defeat?

An army of two wasn't enough
To face this Thermopylae of demons
Return with my shield, you on top of yours
I really thought it would've been me first

You chose that path, which was hard to take
To follow you would be a mistake
This road to hell won't bring an end to this sadness
This ways only regret

No words could save you
No words could set me free

From this guilt and pain
I let you down
From this guilt and pain
I let you down

How could you leave so easily?
I stayed strong for you, now who's left for me?
So tired and weak could hardly speak
Yet I was there through everything
How could you accept this defeat?

You fought for so long, why couldn't you hold on?
F*ck

Penitence
Consumes me
