This is the first song on the album. It is supposed to represent the fall out. The emotion is the feeling of being worn out and broken from a relationship. There is also a sense of frustration and spite as is common in a break up.
lyrics
I left my conscience lying next to you, underneath smoke and smiles. Blinded by hope I have naively tried, to fix this broken carousel.
I tore my heart out, I gave it to you. When love is not enough, what's left for me to do?
I'll enjoy the fall, its match point to you. Misguided rumors fuel that fire I tried to fight, but the more I find, the truth can leave such scars. So now I'll drown December's pain, in this January rain.
I shut out panic seeking clarity. It left me so miserable. My head says run my heart screams turn around. I'm just a half of something whole.
I tore my heart out, I gave it to you. When love is not enough, what's left for me to do?
I'll enjoy the fall, its match point to you. Misguided rumors fuel that fire I tried to fight, but the more I find, the truth can leave such scars. So now I'll drown December's pain...
I hope, this meant, regrets for you. For me, this means, a void unfilled.
I hope, this meant, regrets for you. For me, this means, a void unfilled, unfilled, forever.
