There was nothing in sight / but memories left abandoned Like he's praying to God that it's enough to reach the truth (her) that lies across this endless chasm between them. Let it be enough to reach the truth that lies To fill the hole the bottomless hole he's dug between them, and realizing he can't fill it/fix it, to connect the sides of the divide and bring them back together again. Give me reason / to fill this hole / connect the space between He's begging her to let him fix it, wash it clean. Let the floods cross the distance in your eyes So give me reason / to prove me wrong / to wash this memory clean And even though he did it, the finality, the hate that 'I'd get what I deserve' entails, snaps him back to reality. She can't forgive him for what he's done, and she tells him that he'll get what he deserves. Like he'd been running from the consequences of his actions and now they've caught up to him. This line sounds almost sarcastic, like he's not startled that 'fate' or karma has caught up to him. Like a startling sign / that fate had finally found me I see every moment they've shared together race across the 'screen' of his mind. I remembered each flash / as time began to blur I remembered black skies / the lightning all around me He can't help it, every choice he makes seems to hurt her further and drive a wedge farther between them until they're on separate sides of a huge chasm.
