Our beautiful bodies combined, naked and bare like art
We are admirable, we are precious and pure
But like art we are fragile and the paintbrush
It is made up of honesty and pain and a surgical knife
Because I cut open my chest to give to you my heart and the blood
It has stained both my mind and your hands
Don't let me down and don't let me fade
Because that heart resting in your hands is still beating today
And only your touch can keep this blood flowing through my veins.
It's all background noise except for you and I feel myself falling faster
I am scared I might hit the ground before my time
Because every candle I've ever lit has been put out before it burned out
And I go to sleep each night with this fear scratching at my mind
That you won't be there when I wake and the background noise will forever stay focused
And I drink this wine; to forget that I have lost everything I thought was mine
But I will try to keep this flame alive
Because it needs to burn to get me through each night
And I trust your voice, and that beautiful smile
And the way you wrap your arms around me tight
This love is pure and it can't be defined
I thought nothing had a purpose because we are born to die
Until I looked into your sea-green eyes, and my life finally became mine
