Still Heart Lyrics

We are one
This breath of love swells my heart to bursting
I was nothing without you, and
Now I stand complete
Your beauty brings me to my knees
And with every moment I feel more unworthy
I feel that you could slip away
In the blink of an eye

And before it seems I've even blinked at all
Tragedy falls upon this love
I swear I knew it was coming
But why can't it be me? -Now breathing stops; I'm just choking-
Oh God, why can't it be me?

I could never make this choice on my own
Given a thousand years I'd never find the answer
This is not my place

But as the tendrils of my mind creep into my soul -And though I'd-
It's as if the very life-force in me -never wish for her to-
blackens in the mind's embrace -suffer here-
And as this darkness takes me,
I can feel my heart fade -I just can't let her-
Fade away and leave me for nothing

I have witnessed such beauty
And it's slipping away from me
Having caught a falling star
Which now crumbles through my fingers

The quality of life has decayed
A dreary monotone wasteland remains
I know what I must do
I must play God and give her mercy
I must end the suffering
She would do the same for me
I can't leave her here this way
But how can I go on
Living with a heart that's been stilled?

But as the tendrils of my mind creep into my soul -And though I-
It's as if the very life-force in me -never wished for her to -
blackens in the mind's embrace - suffer here-
And as this darkness takes me,
I can feel my heart fade -I have now let her-
Fade away and leave me for nothing
