Emily Davis - Heartache Lyrics

Love came before us and love will outlast
When our flesh turns to dust and our bones turn to ash
When I wake here with you, held in your arms
Something inside of me burns like the stars

But if I ever had to let you let go
I would plead with the ground to swallow me whole
Because sometimes you're guessing and sometimes you know
That your love is too big for you both to outgrow

And I've got this heartache, and it's too late
For either of us to look back
And I miss you, and I need you to understand
Every word that I say

Dreamlessly sleeping beside you my love
Tethered together with threads from above us
And ropes that have anchored so deep in my chest
That nothing you do could reduce them to less
Than a steel-bound collection of beautiful truths
And how grateful I am that I have found you
The colours burn brighter old roads feel new
Not death now forgetting will ever undo them

But if you ever had to let me go
I would ask you to find me in places we know
In the sea and in pages and in promises sworn
In your heart and in the eyes of our children unborn

And I've got this heartache, and it's too late
For either of us to look back
And I miss you, and I need you to understand
Every word that I say
I will love you til the end of my days
