Why did you have to go,

And leave me here all alone;

I try to remember your face,

But all I see is an empty space;

I scream out all my fears,

{You caress me and say}

"I love you my dear",

{I know you want to stay (with me)}

The pain that I feel inside,

Was nothing when I saw how you cried;

The tears streaming down your face,

To me only showed the more your gleaming grace;

You need to break away from this farce,

While you lay here looking up at the stars (with me);

The future is bright,

The timing's just right;

You climb up the stairs,

You know who'll be there (waiting for you);

We have to end this hard fight,

You have to take wing and fly (away);

And then leave me here,

{Don't worry about me}

Don't you dare shed a tear,

{Your weakness is my key (to your heart)}

The blackness closes in,

The beast is raging within;

To tear your life apart,

I'm breaking your heart (today);

This song that I sing, could never show you why,

I left you and went home alone to cry (I'm sorry);

So if you think that I'm wrong,

{And you want some more time}

You once believed I was strong,

{Others see this as a crime}

Do you care what others seem to think?

What will it take to push us off the brink?

Time is running out so you better think fast,

Lest they surround us with armies of demons so vast;

The windows of this world were then vehemently shattered,

While I protected you and my own blood was spattered;

On the walls and on your terrified face,

That was the last time I felt your warming embrace;

My soul left and my heart stopped,

{My features melted away}

Our own bubble was popped,

{Your own thoughts go astray (without me)}

So now you must say,

{The cruelty you endure}

That you must want me to stay,

{I know you want so much more (from me)}
