Torn

I long for days like this
My heart pounds when you are near
The gift of life, treasure it, for it's pure
Embrace it with all your heart

Not a thousand years of pain
Would be worth the loss of this
I hold for you a special gift
And on this day, a new life begins

Façade the day of forest green
And calm my breath with words of plight
A question I ponder this hour
The light for me, or shadows engulf?

I am the answers you seek
You stand before me
And I see your sorrow
Even now in your agony
You can have your doubt for one last time

Do I make the sacrifice
To walk among the restless souls?
How can I let this go on?
Torn between love and life
All is dead in my eyes

Close your eyes and welcome the truth
Innocence is so sweet
For only the aging of the flesh
Shall rain upon the sorrows of life

Admire this touch of heaven before it fades
I remember days of old
And through your grief, one stands clear
I can see you forge a smile

All these flowers are turning to snow
For all is lost in your heart
It's only her love that keeps you alive
Now's the time for your pain to end

How can I ever live without you?
This all seems so perfect
So perfect, until I dream of you
And your smile is my sunshine

You deserve more than this (your savior has come)
A strong soul to carry on (to take you home)
I need you here with me (follow me now)
To pick me up when I fall (before the sunlight fades)
