Fool's Requiem

I'm not quite sure what I expected to come From years spent distracted I'm far from pure, a martyr for the causes you enacted But I'm sick of thinking in past-tense So what's it for? Why am I breathing so slowly I'm a fool to feel this lonely And for wanting more from those that barely know me If you could see me now, you wouldn't hold me so closely I bet that you'd change While I always stay the same I've exhausted my claim On your memory and my name So who am I to say To those lost and gone away That it's time we headed home I'd just get in the way With pain showing on my face I'm a fool to feel so alone Even if I wanted to I wouldn't Leave you where you never should have been Maybe I could learn to be more prudent But we both know I'm not who I could've been I think the time has come when I accept it You're all gone, gone for good So much left to learn but this is how you left it Now I'll let you go, like I said I would So who am I to say To those lost and gone away That it's time we headed home I'd just get in the way With pain showing on my face I'm a fool to feel so alone I'm a fool to feel so alone
