everything was for a reason
i never died of the pain
all things must come in due season
maybe i'll see you again
you came to teach me a lesson
i came to sing you a song
you took me down, kept me guessing
i kept you up all night long
everything happened so quickly
i never saw till too late
how i assumed you would love me
failing your test at the gate
you came and came underneath me
pushing me under the skin
nobody came to release me
cursing my blessing to sin
i came to feel like i knew you
all of your wiles and ways
you came to fear i'd undo you
one of those old winter days
everything stopped so completely
i never dreamed you would go
nothing i'd seen had prepared me
for the sheer force of the blow
i came to madness and terror
dreaming of you every night
haunted by your doppelganger
trapped in your withering light
everything was for a reason
one day i'll be over you
all things must pass in due season
not every dream can come true
