I saw you standing by the river.
I saw your hair was wet.I bid my legs to walk away.
But my heart, my heart was set.
All I wanted was a look at you.
All I wanted was to touch your hair.
After all those nights you'd kept me awake,
This little liberty, it only seemed fair.
But, for you, I was a monster.
For you, I'd always been one.
Scared that I'd come to ravage you,
Gathering all you had, you started to run.
And I ran after you,
I called out your name.
You didn't even turn to look at me.
And you ran, you ran all the same.
It was then I wish I had stopped,
It was then I wish I'd taken a breath.
'Coz I don't remember what happened afterwards.
I do not know how I caused your death.
Gun in my hand, tears in my eyes,
Blood on your body thin.
That's when I saw my love dying,
And that's when I died within.
