[Verse 1]
The day we met my life was changed
I always heard that love was strange
And painful, painful
One night you slept upon your side
Tangled in white you looked just like
An angel, an angel
[Chorus]
So why did you fly away?
I been dying a little d**h
Since that very day
I used to laugh when you told me
You must forget and forgive to be free
[Verse 2]
Down by the water, dressed in black
I swore revenge to get you back
Hateful, hateful
I made my camp upon the hill
I drank whisky from the secret, still
Blameful, blameful
[Chorus]
So why did you fly away?
I've been dying a little d**h
Since that very day
I used to laugh when you told me
You must forget and forgive to be free
[Bridge]
And I never could admit
The part I had in it
So this is what I get, my friend
[Verse 2]
Drunk in a field of scarlet snow
I reconciled with your ghost
In April, in April
I stood before the hypocrite
There in the mirror brightly lit
Shameful, shameful
[Chorus 2]
Now I know why you ran away
And I been dying a little d**h
Since that very day
I used to laugh when you told me
You must forget and forgive
You must forgive just to live
You must forget and forgive to be free
