"I know one thing: that I know nothing" - Socrates


You promised you’d care
that you’d always be there.
But where are you now,
as my spirit goes down?

I’ve lost all my trust in you
can you really blame me?
There was nothing else that I could do
so why can’t you see?

Didn’t you say you’d protect this light
with all of your might?

Didn’t you say we would be together
Forever and ever?

Maybe you simply just forgot
it was long, long ago.
But you need to take responsibility for what you got
Come on don’t you know?

And these eyes once of love are now filled with hate
No chance of redemption it’s now too late.
You betrayed me for your own selfish relief
a life full of love was just my naïve belief!

Didn’t you say you’d protect this light
with all of your might?

Didn’t you say we would be together
Forever and ever?

Then when I’m under foreign invasion
I see it’s under your commission

And when I have something to say
you have no attention to pay.

No more options left to choose,
I have little left to lose,
so to save my humanity,
although it’s a pity,
there’s nothing else I can do;
So I’ll abandon you.
