Your cold fingers grip the ropes,
Deathly silent on the slopes
We clutch misleading hopes,
they'll forget you in time
Slackened cable, lifeline spent,
I've started my descent
Slowly shed your side,
Gradients my guide

I'm sorry I had to go,
Your shoulder jolting in the snow
When I leave my path won't show,
they'll forget you in time
I'm going to slip outside,
I could be quite sometime
Slowly shed your side,
Gradients my guide

With these decisions in mind
I'm willing to sacrifice
Anything, anything
With these decisions in mind
I'm willing to sacrifice
Anything, anything
You'll never know
Twitching in the snow

The guide rope was to give,
It was never to take
Balanced on that frozen lake,
There's hope in the honest mistake
At least I hope so, for my sake
At least I hope so, as you shake
Slowly shed your side,
Gradients my guide

With these decisions in mind
I'm willing to sacrifice
Anything, anything
With these decisions in mind
I'm willing to sacrifice
Anything, anything
You'll never know
Twitching in the snow

Everything will be alright
I'm willing now to sacrifice
Everything will be alright
I'm willing now to sacrifice
Everything will be alright
I'm willing now to sacrifice
Everything will be just fine
I'm so sorry, you know I tried
