When you said those words
The aching came
The world stopped
But I was in a spin

I fell to my knees asking god to let me leave
Let me die right there
For if I had to live with the pain
For my heart lives for you

I felt a twinge
Another surge of pain
My eyes blurred
And my mind stopped

I fell down on my face
A cold smack against tile
Then the blood came
And with it came more tears

I awoke with a start
Having the metallic taste
Filling my mouth
And the blood in a pool

My heart breaks for you
My soul lives for you
My mind thinks of you
I only breathe for you'¦.
