Take me end this dream now
I still remember the day I met you
There in the dark all alone
This obvious outcast creature
The greatest friend I've ever known
I still remember the first time I held you
Our bodies trembled a little bit
But now you're buried with all the memories
Below the place where we would sit
Yesterday I'd be happy if the church burned down
If every trace of god was never found
Until confronted with this
Under the sun where your body would lay
I've never seen it shine that way
Into the greatest mystery you go
I can't forget that withered white face
The tired eyes and the weakening bones
I knew that this was all ending too very soon
And I don't know if I'd be here if it wasn't for you
Cuz even when everyone gave up on me you stuck it through
I never meant to forget you
I never thought this could be the last time
Even though you could not speak you said so very much to me
Give me one good reason why she doesn't deserve one last goodbye
Just want to hold you one more time
Just want to kiss you forever goodnight
Tell me god will I ever get the chance
Tell me god will we ever meet again
Stuff my head into a pillow suffocate and die
Stuck in my dreams and frozen thoughts
You're still alive in my broken heart
You bring heaven to this empty heart
And I'm sorry I wasn't there like you were always there for me
I wish to god that I could be there
I close my eyes and I hope to be
I never thought to appreciate
My happiness from the love you gave
It seems life ended both ways the day that you were taken away
No, you bring us love then you take it away
You bring us love then you tear it away
Pray for my death bring me to death show me your death
Bring me death god.
