Alma Mahler's Lament

So much higher than I had been
All that I aspired to, in one human being
Offered his hand to me, a life side by side
If I could be his sole supporter, I'd become his bride

I can't leave you
You need me
I'll survive you, then I'll be free
Offered his hand to me, a life side by side
If I could be his sole supporter, I'd become his bride
If I could set my life aside, to journey on his ride

A sacrifice so holy, is strangling the air that I breathe
A sacrifice so lonely is eating into the core of me
I long to be seen

Oh, the music, now, deafens me

I can't leave you, you need me
I'll survive you, then I'll be free
