The Only Thing That Matters
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Where the hell did you come from?
Outer space or heaven above
Short of breath, my long-lost love
I can't believe my eyes
Are you for real?
My life before was such a mess
There's no use dwelling on the past
My broken heart was in a cast
Then you showed up and it began to heal
Because you're the only thing that matters
Because you're the only thing that's real
Because you're the only thing I'll never let go
Because you're the only thing I feel
Someday you'll come back to me
And I'll say something bitterly
And you'll go racing toward the kitchen
Grab a knife, erase my vision
Take my flatscreen television
And my paintings by Marilyn Manson
Cause you're the only thing that matters
Cause you're the only thing that's real
Cause you're the only thing I'll never let go
Cause you're the only thing I feel
Cause you're the only thing that matters
Cause you're the only thing that's real
Cause you're the only thing I'll never let go
Cause you're the only thing I feel
