The One to Take You Away

I always knew you would be the one to leave
And unfortunately time didn't prove me wrong
It was a truth I was forced to believe
That our time together wouldn't last for long
Words of parting were quietly exchanged
As I tried to relieve the pain in my heart
Whereas the love we shared managed to remain
It couldn't bridge the distance that kept us apart
You'd always told me it wouldn't work
But I couldn't accept your words to be true
I wasn't aware how much the truth could hurt
Or how it would kill me to have lost you
So here I am on the threshold of good-bye
Feeling lost without you, heartbroken, betrayed
I always knew you'd be the one to leave out of you and I
But I didn't think Death would be the one to take you away
