THE AVALANCHE* COPYRIGHT LYRICS
You took my hand 
Said that you would climb to the top of the mountain
I don't understand 
Was it too tall, did you fall, years have passed, I stopped counting 

You broke me down 
I'm not the same now 
Where did you go when it got cold 
And the snow started falling 
The Avalanche roared and moaned 
And you left me there to be buried 
Under burdens you gave me to carry

And I loved you
I lay under that white blanket 
Taking shallow breathes and trying not move 
Thinking you'd be back for me real soon
Spring came and the snow it started melting 
A better man walked by and found me  
Said that I was pretty as can be and that he'd take care of me 

Well you took my hand 
Said you'd swim the length of the ocean 
I don't understand 
Once you leaped, was it too deep, couldn't make out the coastline 

You swam to shore 
And you knew the Sharks circling 
Where did you go when they smelled the blood 
And my legs were not working 
The waves they crashed and pulled me down
And you left there to be torn apart 
The first thing they went for was my heart 

And I loved you 
I drifted there at sea
Taking shallow breathes and trying not to move
Thinking you'd be back for me real soon
The tides changed and I washed up on to shore 
A better man walked by and found me
Said I was pretty as could be and now someone else takes care of me
