Its very new, so I'm sorry if it doesn't sound quite right. I might change the bridge in the future. But this is what I have so far. This song is about a story that is not mine to share. But it's, vaguely, about someone being lost to addiction and their subsequent recovery.

LYRICS
I never knew
The man you were.
I never knew
Why she loved you.

I couldn’t see
Past those dark blank stares.
What kind of thoughts
Ran thoughts your head?

I had hoped
It wouldn’t last.
And now my nightmares
Are things of the past.

Your roses,
I watched them wither
As you
Fell to pieces.

The birds stop.
Your hands drop
As you leave behind
All you once treated kind.

So many years
I lived in fear.
So many hours
Spent in tears.

You were a
Stranger in my home.
But still, I’d never
Leave you alone.

I had hoped
It wouldn’t last.
And now my nightmares
Are things of the past.

Your roses,
I watched them wither
As you
Fell to pieces.

The birds stop.
Your hands drop
As you leave behind
All you once treated kind.

I’m so glad
I knew you.
I’m so glad
You knew me too.
I’m so glad
I knew you.
And now I know
Why she loved you.

Your roses,
I watched them blossom
As you
Came back to us.

The birds chirp.
Your hands work
As you revive
All you left behind.
