Blinding Bright from Promise by any fragment

Pale in the face, a realization
You know what you've done
Arms around the neck
Check and mate
You know we had a good run
A good bit of fun

A blinding brightness
Swallowed by the night
A new kind of anguish
Following our flight

What would I do if I saw you again
How bright it was for us back then
But if that's true
Did you ever matter to them?
How blind I've been since
The bitterest of ends

Take your time and be kind to yourself
Your woe isn't who you are
But it's all you know
If you've got nothing to show
Then fall back to the dark

A blinding brightness
Swallowed by the night
A new kind of anguish
Following our flight

Back and forth, to and fro
But always on the downswing
Color by numbers, number by the day
Till the memories lose their meaning
No more feeling

Take your time and be kind to yourself
Your woe isn't who you are
But it's all you know
If you've got nothing to show
Then fall back to the dark
