Hence These Tears

All the feelings that you tried to hide

With the shattered tears from your eyes

That now caress the dirt

But don't assume that it was all too late

Just hold your head

And don't get left behind

I felt you lungs collapse

While I held you in my arms

And I burned for you

I'll burn for this and

When my love fell away

But I laid your head to rest

As I burned for you

I'll burn for this and

Your heart was like a bulletproof vest

When they said it was all too much for you

And you shuddered in my grasp

Your heart betrayed you

Betrayed you

But would you drown a thousand angels

Just to die beside the one you love?

The one you love

But why can't you open your eyes and see

That I am everything you need?

Why would you run away?

When I could be everything

And the doctors came in just in time

To see the devil run off with the life you once adored

And they plugged you into the machine

To keep your body awake

While I cried for you

I cried for you

But why can't you open your eyes and see

That I am everything you need?

Everything you need

Why would you run away?

When I could be everything

Your hand inside mine now

You squeeze for comfort

Now scream pretty for me

My hand inside your chest

As I felt your heart collapse

With the sound of a gun

Oh oh you cry

And you're taking the life you were given

With the blackened circles under your eyes

I fear and hear

My bride has a cancer

It's eating away and taking her life

But why can't you open your eyes and see

That I am everything you need?

Everything you need

Why would you run away?

When I could be everything
