Yesterday I felt as breakable as straw
bones feeling as brittle as a birds
today I am weaker than ever before
feeling as light as a fading shadow
weighing less than the whisper from my lips...
sickness consumes me like a black abyss
Oh, I'd never thought I'd loose this war
a relentless battle between body and mind
fire beneath skin...I'm giving in...
one more breath and I'll be gone...
Then you came to lift me up...
missing, struggling, pleading
anything to be strong for you
As my fear grows, hold me close
please help shake this disease
i need your gentle hands to save me
so weak, worn and exhausted
I was prepared to die here...
prepared to die in your arms
my soul safe within your heart.
So leave the windows open
through death, set me free...
for the pain never really leaves
but I can't believe you love me
I'd never thought you'd ever stay
for I am one of so many mistakes
so many times this has happened
but never before has anyone
been by my side through it all
holding on, letting go, staying...
deciding to pull through for you
Theres no way I'll give in now
Because this time, i have a reason.
and as the storm subsides
I open up my tired eyes
and there you still are,
still by my side.
