Imagine you being with the love of your life
And seeing their smile just light up the night.
Imagine you're cuddling; you're holding them near
As you whisper in their ear that they have nothing to fear.
The night goes flawless; you live life lawless.
She goes braless; he goes drawless.
Making love in the moonlight, until you hear them scream
Only to wake up and realize it was nothing but a dream.
Realizing it's a dream, it reminds you that they're gone
Reminding you that you gotta be strong, get up and move on.
It's a cold, cruel reality that we all live in;
Bringing us to our knees and forcing us to give in to sin.
Love is an element; you think you can handle it?
Because it comes with all the elements of pain.
Your heart's gone; your mind's lost in it's thoughts from the loss
Of your life...but you're alive? It drives you insane..
They're always there in your prayers, in your dreams and your nightmares;
An idolized and prized possession; someone so rare.
You sit and reminisce on how those memories create a bliss;
Such a bittersweet perfectness in alternate universes.
You try to stay awake because they show up in your dreams
And the less you acknowledge their existence, the more it seems
That the universe is toying with your weakened, wounded heart.
Can't pull yourself together because love is tearing you apart
And you wonder how you can take it all away
To stop the demons from telling you you can't live another day
Without your love, but up above, God's love will always prevail.
In the Bible, 1st Corinthians states that "Love never fails."
But if you were to take my advice, I know it's not the best
But don't fall in love; fall off a bridge cuz it hurts less
And that nothing is forever cuz forever is a lie.
That all we got is what we had between hello and goodbye.
You can't destroy yourself though; it just isn't worth it.
You gotta understand that life is filled with sadistic, evil *******
Trying to run you down in the ground where you can't make a sound
And once you're there, you're life feels like it's bound.
As you sit there and wonder while life takes you under,
Without rhyme or reason, life passes you by.
Just take a lesson from me cuz you don't wanna be
In this empty padded room as you watch yourself slowly die..
