**
It’s been seven hours and fifteen days
Still, I can’t find the words to say
I watched the hours all melt away
From this human vessel of blood and clay
I laid my heart out in your hands
Gave you control, gave you command
A wayward ship seeking dry land
All washed away like shifting sand
It’s been seven hours and fifteen days
Since you took my breath away
Love was a game we chose to play
A game of chess, with hearts at stake
Chances taken, choices were made
Your final move, a sharpened blade
Severing ties, making your getaway
Believing you, my last mistake
