lyrics

Well now that we're done
I can say what I want
And I'll start with the diamond ring

I offered my love
But that just wasn't enough
You had to have the most expensive things

But I could never afford
Everything you asked for
So I just gave up that tiny little dream

'Cause without that ring
You would have called me a fool
If I had ever gotten on my knees

So now that you're not around
I'm so glad I never hit the ground
I'm so glad I never saw myself
Go that low

Now that we're through
I can do what I want
And I'll start with following my dreams

'Cause when we were one
You tried to ruin my fun
And tell me this tiny little thing

You said if I went too far
And tried to be a rockstar
Our relationship would have to cease

You really made me choose
Between my passion and you
But no one could ever take this from me

And now that we're far apart
I can give this everything I've got
I would never ever let myself
Go that low

You don't deserve my power, little girl
And you don't deserve another's just as well
'Cause you have nothing to offer for all you take
No you're not nearly as special as you think

Now that you're not around
I'm so glad I never hit the ground
I'm so glad I never saw myself
Go that low

And I know you'll get what you need
From someone else who doesn't bleed
When you drag him down into your cave
Kill off every dream, just so he'll behave and go
Low

Bastion: Original Soundtrack
by Darren Korb

A wonderfully textured soundtrack, for a beautiful game. If you've never played Bastion, I highly recommend it. But if you're not a gamer, this soundtrack is well worth listening to on its own. Michael Barnes
