lyrics

We were so close to love
To finding
Our way back home

And in that moment
So fragile
We choked

Never thinking what we had would end
You were my best friend

And will I still think of you
When I’m on my death bed

Will I still be haunted by your ghost
Will my brain still be screaming on the inside
And will I have cried?

Will I still be dreaming of our adventures
And of the days you served me tea
In your home

How many times we nearly died together
It took your heart for me to feel alive
I didn’t know at the time…

Will I yearn for a closure never achieved?
Or will I wish
For one more chance

To go back, and do it all again
Maybe this time, we could really fly

Or are we destined to fail?
Are we destined a pain that we cannot bear?

But I promise the love I felt for you
Was stronger than that
Oh why… did it end this way

Will I look back, with nothing but regret?

All I know is now
Right now
I still care
And I still miss you

I’m still hurting
And what you’ve done to me
May never, never heal

But my heart is beating out of time
Without you in my life

And in hate
In grief
In mourning
In love

I return to the dark from whence I came

And I lay down in a shallow grave
Construct a case of metal, hate, and grief
But a hope, as faint as a dying star
That one might dig me up
