Through every snow and every flame
I always hear you call my name
In the shadows of what's left
You stole my heart, they call it theft
For every soul and every tear
I love you without a fear
In the ocean or in the sky
I will watch you swim or fly
Let not go your sweet, sweet heart
Thus I shall love thy every part
Through the storm and in the rain
You always calmed my pain
Though the world may seem so cold
And thunder strikes as days grow old
Tornadoes swirl and send us far
I always know right where you are
Miles and distance mean not a thing
Although you are caged, I hear you sing
No bird in hand, nor rose in garden
Shall match the fruit of true love's bargain
Of your sweet oranges I have touched
And from your love, I've grown so much
My heart was lost in time and space
But then the tears fell from your face
I was lost and now I'm found
Of your love I was once crowned
Passion blooms in the strangest places
But back and forth, my love still paces
I walk the floor and shan't let go
For you are the best I shall ever know
In your eyes there lies the stars
They lead me back to where you are
Prayers transcend with help divine
I remember when you were mine

The storm has calmed, but the rain is still falling
Deep in the sorrow, I am so desperately calling
I miss you more than what words can say
I think of your voice every single day
You carried me through fire
Through wind and through rain
But you're not here
To carry me through this pain
Locked away is what we once knew
Although our love may have abruptly ended
Still I hope that it shall become mended
Through time and through space
I await your sweet kiss
It is your voice and beautiful face
That I do ever so miss
No emerald or diamond
No silver or gold
Could match what in my arms
I did so closely hold
You spread your wings and you flew away
But I still hope you'll come back some day
I made you a vow, to part not death til
And know this sweet angel: I love you still.

What's it like where you are?
Are you living inside someone else's heart?
Thanks for giving me
All that you could
But still I'm wondering
If I even understood

What you wanted, what you said
Can you speak beyond the dead?
There's still so much we have to do
But all I have now
Is the ghost of you

I keep on living, but not like before
I still smell your perfume, I still hear you pace the floor
There are so many things
I never got to say
And I don't want to be selfish
But I need you to stay

I still see you, standing in the hallway
I still hear you, singing the night away
Tell me, who I am, what to do
I'd have unending conversations
With the ghost of you

Dear God I'm sorry for all I couldn't be
And I know you're still right next to me
It hurts, but I know that you can't stay
So go on, fly away
To a more peaceful view
And I'll always remember
The ghost of you

I feel your lips touch mine
Just for one last time
I hear you softly say you love me
And that you'll always be right above me
No matter where you go, no matter where you are
Forever you'll live on inside my heart
A love like ours is forever true
So I'll always have the ghost of you

Mirror Mirror, tell me why
That all my heart knows is goodbye
Lonely flowers cannot grow
And what you feel, I can not know
I'll be here waiting in the stars
Right where you left my heart
A thousand stitches to my mind
Shattered pieces you left behind
Mirror Mirror, help me now
Bring her back to me somehow

They say love is patient
They say love is kind
There's no feeling nor gem
That can match romance divine
They say to love with your being
But you don't hear a caged bird sing
Pace my heart, still my mind
Love is something you leave behind
I love you with my heart, though that's not all
The heart can be broken, so I love you with my soul
Trust me when I tell you, there is Someone up above
If there was not, I could not feel this love
Whispers in the night echo in my ears
When I cry, you're in all my tears
You've wondered how can I love you, and oh how I've yearned
But if there's anything I've learned
Patience is a virtue, more sacred than gold
Temptation may be strong, but on to you I'll always hold
So fall when you're ready, I'll be right here
I'm going nowhere, have no fear
Love as you are, do what you can
And when the time comes, I'll hold your hand

Searching for happiness at seventeen
There were few and far in between
Feeling lost and completely left out
But an angel made something sprout
There were logs but they were missing the flame
Then the day came where nothing was the same
I fell for you in this messy town
Didn't know it was a long way down
Every drop of rain fell too
As hard as I did just for you
For a while my whole life was a song
You made me feel as though I belonged
Then there came the day of the storm
Left me all alone and torn
Never loved someone quite that way
If only I could've made you stay
Too fast, too slow
I just didn't know
We passed by in years of quiet
Almost impossible for me to fight it
The flame rekindled deep inside
We left the whole world way outside
Roses blossomed where there were thorns before
You were all I wanted, couldn't possibly want more
Every dream I've had, so real
Promised things I'd never feel
Sudden in darkness, intervention divine
Made me realize you were fine
I found contentment in your joy
Guess I'm just a masochistic boy
Even though before, my heart was broken
To you my heart is always open
Shot by bullets right in the chest
While you're my bullet proof vest
Tonight you will be in my dream
Just like you were at seventeen

On a quiet little night in a quaint little room
I feel a little frightened at the darkened loom
And in the distance I hear a screech that pierces the wall
From the vibrations the vases and pictures fall
Insane as I am I inspect the scream
For all I know she could have just had a bad dream
But nightmares don't sleep and the riches aren't enough
She can't be a human; her skin is too rough
I turn around to see what touched me on my arm
From the moment I see him I already feel harm
He bites down so suddenly and the pain transcends
Why do happy beginnings have terrible ends?
