The Great Disappointment

I can remember a place I used to go Chrysanthemums of white, well, they seemed so beautiful I can remember, 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, I smiled then, waiting so patiently I'd make a wish and bleed While I waited, I was wasting away 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 While I waited, I was wasting away While I waited, I was wasting away Hope was wasting away Faith was wasting away I was wasting away I never, never wanted this Always wanted to believe Never never wanted this I could not help because Never never wanted this From the start I'd been deceived Never never wanted this I could not help because I never, never wanted this Always wanted to believe Never never wanted this Never never wanted this From the start I'd been deceived Never never wanted this Inside a crumbling effigy (But you promised) So dies all innocence (But you promised me) While I waited, I was wasting away While I waited, I was wasting away While I waited, I was wasting away Hope was wasting away Faith was wasting away I was wasting away
