The One

In the light of day we held our hearts up 
To judge their size and weigh their love 
Mine was a flame and yours was bleeding numb
And I was not the one you were thinking of

Do you remember the ringing of the bell
High up in the tower, high up on the hill
And when the evening shadows still
I will be the one Time couldn’t heal

In the drowning rain, so was your light betrayed
And all your colors the water washed away
And I was a fool, and you were just a fake
And you were not the one I was thinking of

Late at night
my blood was fire
my head was fire
In the end
the vows we said
were adjectives 
of doubt
