lyrics

Quietly as the page runs out
Shadows cast by your red candle's beam
Scoff at me because I can't let go
Hide between the lines
I try

I can't help but think you lie staring up at the sky
In the arms of a guy who promises to keep you from every strife
For the rest of your life knowing that I'd die just to be there
Holding you again now in these arms of mine

The shifting sea in my mind turns to sand
Every grain is a word you spoke to me
Sifting through the ones I believe
And the words you mean

I can't bear to think you lie in the midst of the night
In the arms of a guy who promises to give you anything you'd like
Can you keep on despite knowing that I'd die just to be there
Holding you again now in these arms of mine?
