As I Lay Dying › Lyrics › Elegy

Did you ever see me
Or could you even see at all?
I looked at your cold white face
So still, so empty

Yet I knew you were at rest
Much more comforted than I
What else could I find
To replace who you were?

It was the carefree unrestricted love
That you never meant to give
You never had the choice

It was your innocence
It was part of who you were
It was the comfort of a friend
