pain is a poison which infests within me
it doesn't seem to rest
no matter how much i plea
can i take all of this
everything that i see
can i live with all of this
the rose i gave to thee

can't i let it be
my heart just wants to scream
i see you there
and i'm filled with glee
i see your heart
it sings to me

that beautiful soul the blooms without me
it kills to be so far away from you
yet i'm so close
right in front of me
yet i can't move
i can hardly breathe

soul is broken
body is aching
heart is shaken
eye is crying
