If I paint still life and hide it away
Is it still art?
If I lack the courage to follow your way
How can we drift apart?
If I beg you to stay; to never go
Would this love decay? How would you know?
Could I borrow your wings
To soar through Heaven?
Silent witness to the angels sing
Shimmering chorus of Holy Brethren
I'll hide from you forever
Exactly what's on my mind
Smiling but revealing never
My true intentions, you'll never find
I'll remain where I was placed
Admiring you from afar
You say you miss my face
Well I say I miss your scar
Unrequited love for a friend
Tragic as this may seem
Love unborn can never end
And I never have to wake from this dream

If I paint still life and hide it away
Is it still art?
If I lack the courage to follow your way
How can we drift apart?
If I beg you to stay; to never go
Would this love decay? How would you know?
Could I borrow your wings
To soar through Heaven?
Silent witness to the angels sing
Shimmering chorus of Holy Brethren
I'll hide from you forever
Exactly what's on my mind
Smiling but revealing never
My true intentions, you'll never find
I'll remain where I was placed
Admiring you from afar
You say you miss my face
Well I say I miss your scar
Unrequited love for a friend
Tragic as this may seem
Love unborn can never end
And I never have to wake from this dream
