From the Start
by Cassie Harris
Meet me by the black gates
And stare me in the eyes
Tell me that you need me
Or help plan my demise
Bury your past in my backyard
Plant seeds over the dirt
I’ll know you’ll dig it back up
Because true pain has worth
Meet me by the broken fountain
The water is tainted too
Reminds me of something dark
Actually reminds me of you
Pour your heart into your words
Let them flow onto the paper
Produce them into gold
I know it couldn’t be better
Meet me by the black gates
And look into my heart
I knew you would leave me
Even from the start
And stare me in the eyes
Tell me that you need me
Or help plan my demise
Bury your past in my backyard
Plant seeds over the dirt
I’ll know you’ll dig it back up
Because true pain has worth
Meet me by the broken fountain
The water is tainted too
Reminds me of something dark
Actually reminds me of you
Pour your heart into your words
Let them flow onto the paper
Produce them into gold
I know it couldn’t be better
Meet me by the black gates
And look into my heart
I knew you would leave me
Even from the start
