Your lips tasted like washed up seashells deserted on the ocean tide,
And the cold wind whispered your ***** secrets in my ears.
We walked among the lonely city I've been trying to get away from,
The only reason I'm still here is because I can't stand being too far away from you.
The day I found you,
You were ready to die,
I never believed you were ever really alive.
How can someone so lovely carry so much hate for themselves?
We layed back and counted the stars,
And for each one you'd find, you'd mention one of your flaws,
You never stopped repeating the words, "I want to disappear",
But frankly, you're the only reason I want to stay alive.
Your eyes were drowed in the tears you'd never let me see,
And even though I loved you, I had to let you be free.
I still think of you every single day,
And I still wonder why such a beautiful heart ended up being so fragile.
You never said goodbye,
So now my heart is stone that is always burning for your presence.
I could've saved you,
But you chose to be your own hero.
