You Took Everything (I let you)

You took everything
I had left and I let you
I waved farewell as it went
I tried too late to salvage the crumbs
But by then they were gone
Blown away by your tides

You took everything
I had left and I wanted you to
I craved for this to be real
To be true and my chance
But it wasn’t I was late
Running on a watch of mistimed fate

You took away everything
I had left and I knew it
I sat back and let it happen
I believed you and all those words
But they were lies I was poisoned
By a snake venom of epic proportion

You took everything
I had left and you blew it
I opened up you gave no warning
I cried for you an enraged river
But only for your raft
To sail away before I could slow it

You took everything
I had left an I let you
I fell for you with no safety precaution
I hit the floor and shattered to shards
But you were already gone
So now is my all

You took everything
