What if I told you that his days had been numbered?
What if I told you his hour was near?
Would you believe or would it fade on a whim?
Or would you just think I am being dim?

Robbed of my vision I stumble and blundered,
A desperate reach but still nothing I hear.
It was Death I'd heard whisper - a heralding bell,
But not even Death could have stopped the day that I fell.

I see that you've changed and I know she loves you,
But believe when I say she'd never do what I'd do for you.
I'd never draw you a line or tell you enough,
I'd hold you up and push you through if times got tough.
I'd turn straw to gold if that's what would make you smile,
I'd lay it all down and care only for you all the while.
I'd do all I could to protect you from strife,
And when that seemed like enough I'll also give up my life.
I see that you've changed and I know that she loves you,
But now believe when I say she'd never do what I'd do for you.

I despise that she's on your hand and in your heart,
And that I never got to play my part.
But that fateful day I held my tongue and chose silence,
And prayed every day since for providence.

I loathe that I still hold you so high,
Devine to my mind still making me cry.
I don't think I will ever let go not on my own,
I don't think I want to let go...
