My Temple

(album: Naming The Unidentified - 2005)

I've been sitting here in a cold sweat
Mesmerized on how quickly you'd forget
All the hard work and all the shit I've been through
The only reason why I took it all was just for you
I wouldn't have tolerated all the pain I've faced
And at times I wanted to give up
I couldn't let you down
You were the strength I needed
You made me feel invincible
And all the time we spent together
Has all been taken away

I remember how we use to talk on the phone all night
We would make every minute count for everyday
Nothing came between us but the miles that I traveled on
I would just count the days 'til I could get back
And now you don't even have the time of day for me
When everything you say is to pacify me
I just wish you could love me the way you used to
I guess I can't blame you for wanting to leave

You were my temple
You were All that I praised
You were All that I thought was my future
Now all that I see reminds me of the places we were together
You were my temple
You were All that I praised
You were All that I thought was my future
Now all that I see reminds me of the places we were together

And now you don't even have the time of day for me
When everything you say is to pacify me
This love is like a drug that's been injected into my veins
How am I to live
How am I to breathe
How am I to sleep at night

When you cut me off so cold
So cold
So cold
I'm so cold
So cold

You were my temple
You were All that I praised
You were All that I thought was my future
Now all that I see reminds me...
