The Great Disappointment (Correct) Lyrics

I can remember, a place I used to go.

Chrysanthemums of white, they seemed so beautiful.

I can remember. I searched for the amaranth.

I'd shut my eyes to see.

Oh, how I smiled then, so near the cherished ones.

I knew they would appear, saw not a single one.

Oh how I smiled then, waiting so patiently.

I'd make a wish and bleed.

While I waited I was wasting away.

I can remember, dreamt them so vividly,

Soft creatures draped in white, light kisses gracing me.

I can remember when I first realized,

Dreams were the only place to see them

While I waited I was wasting away.

Hope was wasting away.

Faith was wasting away.

I was wasting away.

I never, never wanted this. 

I always wanted to believe, but from the start I'd been decieved.

I never, never wanted this.

Inside a crumbling effigy, so dies all innocence.

But you promised me..
