My first proposal was my last
as it seems to be
And every smile when i'm around
feels like you smile at me
When i am lost with broken heart
you bring me back around
It hurts me most when your upset
or scarred with beautiful frown
these tears i fight with stoic refrain
no longer am i afraid
i shared this pain with only you
this sickness i have made
But i can't
I can't forget what i have done
or this pain it will return
I can't give up my sacrament
without my soul would burn
i can't release you from this grip
my strained and tortured heart
without you here this pain and fear
would never cease to be
i cannot spend eternity, wondering
why couldn't I be we?
