I'm laying here in this frosted lake,

It's cold and I'm slipping away,

Into madness and suffering,

Into such heated and intense betrayal,

Into unforgiving death.

Because you love me.

We're mad,

We want to tear this world up,

Most people'd think we'd lost it,and some how,

Have some right to call us insane, but that'll never be true,

Because you love me.

"This is fine' I think, 'this is perfect'

The world's doomed, we'll release our anger, our everything

I relax, at ease at peace with the dark,

Then a light shines through,

Because you love me.

I feel once again, reality, we didn't hold peace

Things couldn't end this way, there was more to be done

A promise to keep, a battle to be won

With the power I cried out for, times erased,

Because you love me.

Fine, I'll do it, I'm not afraid anymore,

I look once again at you who I adore,

Another request, my devoted heart torn,

To take the life of who I'd fought and would die for

Because you love me.

This innocent gift called friendship we shared . . .

You gave me hope, you gave me reason

You gave me strength, without even trying

Your light kept me going all of this time . ..

Because you love me.

Our friendship is a lie,

Such purity cannot live long.

We can't both hold it up, but you are strong

You'll find happiness and I'll keep the warmth I knew,

Because you loved me.

I have to accept this and move on

Fix things and keep us apart from now on,

I'll make sure that your light shines always

This will hurt us both, but I'll be fine,

I promise this true,

Because forever I'll love you.
