I woke with roses in my dreams
Thorns drew the blood from my sleep
Perfume weighs heavy on my sleeve
Call me what you like before you leave
You had been my muse
In every portrait that I drew
Every moment that I knew
Was worth beholding
Giving hope to those
Who'd given up on hoping
Once for all
What a blessing for the cursed
How you filled out any verse
The most eloquent of words
That I'd heard spoken
Open eyes for those too blind and stuck
To cope with all their coping
I've been seeing things I've never seen
Oh, everything that came before
An emptiness I once ignored
For so long, so long goodbye
You would talk about the stars
Like they're not so very far
Away from car alarms
And things exploding
Blissfully ignoring
The cracks that started showing
Beneath our feet
I recall the day
When the sky was full of rain
The thunder we remained
Untouched, unbroken
Our bodies close and soaking
By the time the skies had opened
Giving all of you to me
Oh, everything that came before
An emptiness I once ignored
For so long, so long goodbye
Oh, ever since you came along
You took me to where I belong
Been so long, so long I tried
Oh, I tried
To be
Something I was never meant to be
Some place I was never meant to see
I will give you what you gave me
Oh, everything that came before
An emptiness I once ignored
For so long, so long I tried
Something I was never meant to be
Some place I was never meant to see
I will give you what you gave me
