lyrics

She opened up her eyes and turned her head.
They said wait for tomorrow and the wait will kill it all.

I know it's hard to stay strong, but please just hold on.

It's hard to live when you're gone.

These words bring her closer (Closer to me and her home)
My mind is lost (I'll watch as she turns to stone)
They won't let you down.
This will all turn around as your sickness fades away,
Your life's here to stay, safe and sound.
You're my queen and here is your crown.

Life's a bittersweet road that everyone travels.
I wish I was a part of you, I could fight your battles.
I'll never let my guard down and stand by your side.
As your life slips away faster goes mine.
I can't take this twisted fate, it's killing me.
Now she's fading away.
Let her stay.

Break these chains off of your soul.
Release your enemies to me.
There's more to life than what you've seen,
So don't let go you'll be set free.
I can't take this twisted fate,
It's killing me, now she's fading away.
