AFI The Great Disappointment Lyrics

I can remember, a place I used to go.
Chrysanthemums of white
They seemed so beautiful.
I can remember, I 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 how I smiled then, waiting so patiently.
I'd make a wish and bleed.

While I waited there, I was wasting away
While I waited there, 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 there, I was wasting away
While I waited there, I was wasting away
While I waited there, I was wasting away

Hope was wasting away.
Faith was wasting away.
I was wasting away.

I never, never wanted this.
I 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.
I always wanted to believe.
Never never wanted this, oh

Never Never wanted this.
From the start I'd been deceived.
Never never wanted this, oh

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.
