what it would have been like to be someone else
and I know that I can't have
which I want most of all
I watch as the world goes by
as the wave's from the oceancrash into the cliff
and eat it away slowly
I watch as the people I meet
and love
fade away
like a sunset their smiles warm and beautiful
and then just like that it grows dark
like a life turning off a light
I want to turn them back on
Turn back time
but I know time won't listen
as I know now
Time has no heart, and if it does it has someone else's
I watch as the cliff just stands there
as the ocean eats it away
I guess this is what people mean when they say
"Even the immortal die, not in the body but in the soul.
They lose too much and have too little."
As the rain falls, so do my tears
The rain immortal
Just like my sorrow
Immortal
Yet I still feel this torture
this feeling I wish would last forever
but deep in my heart I already know
it won't last
No matter how I feel
My body burns when we touch
My anger flares when you get hurt
I want this to never end, but it will
I watch as the sky becomes dark
and I know the world is too cruel for this to last
I want to hold you
I want to wipe the tears from your eyes
I want to always be by your side
but I know this feeling doesn't matter
for time won't let me go
No matter what you say
No matter what you do
It was meant to be this way
For me to love and for you to fade away
Just like everyone else
You'll fade away into the very depths of time that I can't see
No matter how long I cry,
No matter how long it rains
My sorrow will only grow,
until the promised day when I will die
As the rain falls, so do my tears
The rain immortal
Just like my sorrow
Immortal
I want to die
to live my life with you
but I can't, not with my promise
not with my heart tied to the cross of immortality
I wish to love you
but I would only hurt you when you grow old
and hurt me as I watch you fade away
I want the words you say to be true
that we will break this curse once and for all
but I know theres a chance it won't work
and with that chance our hearts are breaking
because we know the chances are very little
and that God can't hear my words or yours
only the rain knows our pain
for I love a mortal
and you love an immortal
and I know this won't last
It tears me apart,
to watch you smile
because I know it maybe your last...
