The Great Disappointment (correct) 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 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 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, but from the start I'd been decieved.
I never, never wanted
this.
Inside a crumbling effigy, so dies all innocence.

But you
promised me..
