You put your heart into your work
You forged it with your hands
So I just had to be the one
Who cares and understands
For I was trapped within my world
Of politics and war
And when I knew of your fate
I swear, my heart it tore

You gave up all you ever had
To make a promise now
You swore to it you'd always keep
Though you weren't sure quite how
And yet today has found you here
Utterly absurd
And in the love you swore to me
You also broke your word

What is this cold unfeeling piece
Of metalwork and gold
That replaces both the warmth and care
With all the lies we told
What is this tragic sorry state
The fall of one so bold
It is the bit of hope I have
It is the hand I hold

The chain has held your love so tight
The chain has dragged me down
I told myself it wasn't right
And that I'd come around
But all the common sense I had
Was drowning in your gaze
And the truth I couldn't see
Was shrouded in a haze

I always knew it'd end this way
With rage consuming you
But then again I knew you'd fight
And in the end come through
And if I did it all again
I'd choose again to stay
It wouldn't be the same, I wouldn't
Have it any other way

I hope for you, I hope for them
Because they still live on
And I couldn't fix a mess you made
At least not while I'm gone
I said it with my final breath
With all the words I spoke
I knew within you there was good
To fix the things you broke

It's not the cold, unfeeling hand
It's not replacement parts
It's not the mask you hide behind
It's in your broken heart
I see the boy from long ago
Who always had the parts
To fix our ship, and had the guts
To fix my broken heart.
