My Words

I guess I never realized our love was fading,
I near died when you said that you needed some time.
Oh how I remember back when we first started dating,
Looks like I was blind until you said good bye.
Going through these pictures without you I can feel myself breaking.
How did things get so faded with time?
Now my body it won’t stop shaking,
I clearly see all my mistakes and all your reasons why.

If my love fell like rain how I would give you an ocean.
If it had wings we could soar through the sky.
Yet for me it comes in words like the ones I’ve just spoken.
If it came as death then for you I would lay down and die.

I look down at this empty bed and still I picture you there sleeping.
All I can do is drink in a small trace of your perfume.
If these walls could talk they would tell you how my heart is weeping.
Without your voice I’m lost in the silence of this room.
If you could look in my eyes and here my words they are all yours now.
My heart seemed only to beat when you were by my side.
Your name is the only one I’ll ever call out.
If I had you here I know once again I would feel alive.

If my love fell like rain how I would give you an ocean.
If it had wings we could soar through the sky.
Yet for me it comes in words like the ones I’ve just spoken.
If it came as death then for you I would lay down and die.

So never again will I let our love fade alone into the night.
I would have the world if once more I kissed those lips.
I know we could make our future turn out so bright.
Never again with love would I be taking such a risk.

If my love fell like rain how I would give you an ocean.
If it had wings we could soar through the sky.
Yet for me it comes in words like the ones I’ve just spoken.
If it came as death then for you I would lay down and die.
