Never shall I be at peace, my soul is dead and gone.
Bury me in the earth so deep, I do not wish to carry on.

Hold me close, hold me tight, beneath the evening sun.
Keep me warm and safe at night, comfort me with love.

When hope is gone and the sun burns out, I pray your love will last.
How I wish you could see all I dream about, my dreams are fading, oh so fast.

Comfort me when I'm in need, don't set sail, lower your mast.
Share with me your thoughts and dreams, together we can escape our past.

When it's over, and all is said and done, I'll be waiting for you.
I'll never let go, I have to hold on, I'm determined to see this through.

My love for you is strong and pure, I hope you know it's true.
For this disease's cure, there's nothing I wouldn't do.

Rising from the phoenix's flame, my love born anew.
Like always I'm up for this game, even though it makes me a fool.

Longing still to hold you close, I think and dream of you.
And how on that day time froze, my world became so blue.

Here we stand alone at last, if only time would stand still.
In my heart I forget the past, and I can't explain these things I feel.

We sat together in silence today, and my love became all too real.
A midnight stroll to hide the pain, we both had time to ****.

I may never have this chance again, so I'll make this crystal clear.
But I can't find the words to begin, especially when you're near.

Don't forget the things I've done, I've always needed you here.
I wanted so long to tell you that you're the one, but I was always fraught with fear.

Hold me tight, hold me close, promise me you'll be there.
Hold my hand and don't let go, life is so unfair.

Comfort me when I'm in need, for you my heart will always care.
I'll remember you, remember me, and all we couldn't share.
