I heard you speak in Greek just now
To a man who's barely alive
He was too unconscious to hear you in this world
But your words will forever echo
In his heart.
I need to find a way to look at you
Without falling in love all over again.
And when I hear your voice
It's like the call of angels from heaven,
I don't even believe in heaven.
Was the light of your life for a few weeks there
Now I'm more like
The guiding light
To your darkened eyes
I don't know man, sometimes it just feels like
Something beautiful could've happened, and we just
Couldn't seem to fight
For all we saw in each other, all that life
I really would have had you not
Shown me it was all for naught
Now I'm laying in lukewarm water
The soggy ends of my hair
Drinking wine someone else bought
But nothing feels as right as you,
Nothing felt as true.
Sorry, sorry I won't shut up
I know this hurts, but please don't cry,
The happiest thing I know
Is that you're alive
And when my breath stops
When I breathe my final sigh
Years from now, a couple hundred stones down the road;
You'll still linger in my breath
You haven't been breathing well, my darling,
Because I kept some of your air for myself
To taste in the times I feel most alone
To remember your hands, and eyes, and oh god
I can't stop.
You were meant to be in my arms and I haven't known it so strong
In so long
Once a miracle happened
when I knew he could be mine
Turns out things fell right in line
Even if I was a fallback; the second time.
I think life works in synchronous ways
And I've seen it far too often in us, these days.
All of me was a song we both knew,
And we both tore ourselves apart in the tub, same time, and just with you
I'm so sorry I broke apart
And quite literally terrified your heart
Into being so scared of me you can hardly look in my eyes,
But believe me when I say, this connection is one of a kind.
I carved your name In my skin not to be spiteful,
Rather to remember you, forever, even when our ships set sail
I took your soul by the handfuls
And showed them to you with no avail
I wish I could give you my eyes
To see the angel I can't seem to ever deny.
Please hold out for me, when the tides get rough
The current may pull, but I am always here
To keep you afloat.
I know in the deep end, it always gets tough,
Nightmares and daylight fears;
But I won't let you go.
No, I won't give up on you
Until the day you no longer want me to stay.
I won't even doubt you
When you say everything will be okay.
Because I'll believe you, till the day I die,
When you talk, I'll listen,
You're the only truth I won't deny.
