Time and time again it seems
The heart was made to cry and scream
And though our weary eyes do gleam,
We sleep alone again

I know I'll think about you when you're gone.

When I'm gone...
because it's not just you who's leaving.

And when I do think about you,
it won't be like this.
You'll seem very far away...
like I read about you somewhere in a book,
or dreamt you up
in the pit of my soul.

Soak into my bones like ink on paper
Stain me any way you wish

I wanna breathe you in like water vapor
And hold you in like smoke, like this

We reach out to one another,
Grasping at all the wrong hands
What lonely creatures god has made
In a lonely, godless world

Oh wind, take me away from this place
Bring me sweetly to death
My one and only friend
And sing to me softly, gently,
So that I may sleep once again

I did not ask for you to love me,
But instead for the illusion
That with your body next to mine,
We’d vanish in the depth of time
Into the most beautiful of places.

I did not ask for you to love me,
But instead I asked for silence.
And with my head upon your chest
I closed my eyes to dream,
That somehow you did love me
In the most beautiful of ways.

This love is one I'll never lose,

One I can't control

This joy that I cannot refuse

Leaks sadness in my soul

I wish I could tell you that I love you
And not worry that you won’t understand
That I say it not simply because I want to,
But so that in the event of my death,
You might know that I've loved you my whole life,
And that the amount of love I have for you
Is ten million times more than I ever deserved to experience
