I do not love you except I love you;
I know not another way
I love you as though I were made to
As though I was born to sing to you

My heart might pump your blood
You run through my veins
Share all my scars
And become my healing

The only choice I have was made before me
I can only follow in the footsteps you leave
And each day find my way closer to where you are

It never was a choice and could never be
The stars I love will have to shine in the past
And their dust becoming you to me is sacred

I do not love you except I love you;
As a mother is with child, being held by loving arms
The peace that only trust can bring
As though I was born to sing a song for you
