Flames

How could I have doubted you
could be the one for me?
I thought I saw a ghost
but that was just me
I realize now, if its not too late
I'd like to build you a castle
and keep you from leaving today

I would throw myself under a train
once those words fall from your tongue
How could I have doubted
that you could be the one
We swallowed the night and watched our home burn
I blamed you but you said not a word
and in your silence flames praised our home
I knew right then you did not burn it alone

How could I have doubted you
could be the one for me?
I thought I saw a ghost
but that was just me
I realize now, if its not too late
I'd like to build you a castle
and keep you from leaving today

I would fight in every war
Once your empty eyes look away
How could I have doubted you
could be the one for me?
I stand beside our river bed
Waiting and collecting stones to throw
count the ripples until you decide it's time to go
I wish I could've been everything
but a ghost, they never show
You have been the one for me
How could I have not known?
