Widower Lyrics - Option Paralysis - Dillinger Escape Plan

You were a face in the crowd 

I threw myself onto you 

I tried to take you away 

I didn't know how to do 

But I could not give you the most 

Something's I said were never true 

Yet still we clung to a ghost 

I feel so bad you never knew 

I felt like you should know 

But I could not tell you so 

When you walked away 

I breathed your name 

As you walked away 

As you walked away 

We can never get back what we choose to throw away 

When you walked away 

I breathed your name 

As you walked away 

As you walked away 

We can never get it back what we choose to throw away 

I don't know how to hold on to something, that seems determined to crow by the day 

Every time, I think I can handle, you only seem to get farther away 

I never realized just how hard it was, for a person like me to do 

For a person like me to do 

When you walked away 

I breathed your name 

As you walked away 

As you walked away 

We can never get back what we choose to throw away 

When you walked away 

I breathed your name 

As you walked away 

As you walked away 

We can never get back what we choose to throw away 

I couldn't watch you, wishing for something that seemed more imposable by the day 

Every time I saw your expression I only seemed to run farther away 

I never realized just how hard this was, for a person like me to do 

Obsessed with thoughts that deform 

Held on by hope to the one 

Crippled because of chains 

That eclipse reality 

Crushing into truths we all perceive 

Without perceiving 

I couldn't hold on to, the things that matter to you 

It was my big mistake 

Thinking there were two roads to take 

As you walked away
