Sat down here I stayed
With my sins opened wide
Laid down I’ve remained
With all my sins here by my side
So much I have lost
And yet there’s so much more to lose
Guilt is my only host
Still I give it no use
All efforts I have done
Seem hollow and in vain
I’d rather face all demons
Than chose the easiest way
I never thought that it could hurt so deep
I never thought my blood would be so thick
I never thought that you would leave me so alone
Would leave me on my own, would leave me just flesh and bones
I want you by my side
I am so afraid to lose
You are my only light
And I am your only fuse
Nothing seems so plain
Or did I misunderstand?
I feel no longer sane
A single grain of sand
The days our eyes were crossed
And sank into a lake of fire
They became golden frost
Our love is not for hire
I never thought that it could hurt so deep
I never thought my blood would be so thick
I never thought that you would leave me so alone
Would leave me on my own, would leave me just flesh and bones
