While you were sleeping
I tore away
Parts of us sewn together
Left only to knot and fray

With delicate sacrifice
I let you sleep
As I slipped through the door
In perpetual weep
 

If I could go back
to that cool November's morn
I'd awaken my baby
Before our bond was torn

While you were sleeping
I walked away
You awoke to another
While wishing I'd only stayed
