In this lonely breeze I sit trying to make sense of it all And I'm moderately Dissecting a life just past But it doesn't make sense At least not to me Is nothing in life But a series of circles? Is nothing destined to be? Well it doesn't make sense At least not to me Honey, I'd be lying If I said this didn't hurt Well at least At least not enough to cry And I take solace in that We didn't blow out But we went out With a whimper and a sigh Well goodbye my little bee Find yourself another tree Because if you love something You set it free I may not know much But I know you've saved my life

Why did we stop? Maybe we forgot We were no longer young If you ever loved me then why did you tell me Instead of holding your tongue Then I wouldn't die alone I wouldn't die alone We may now be older but not much wiser When does the learning start? Bust open stitches and burn all our bridges There's no cure for a dying heart I don't want to die alone I don't want to die alone Alone My finger hovers over your number For a brand new beginning There ain't nothing new about this maybe ignorance is bliss It doesn't stop me from clinging I am going to die alone I am going to die alone Alone You will never die alone You ain't ever gonna die alone So maybe I will just die right here on my own

Rest with me I'd rather be here In the breath of morning light Than part from your side Suckle me And tend to all my fears The reality is clear My dear Cradle me, Cradle me, Cradle me, Cradle me, Cradle me, Cradle me in your arms

What do you do when someone you love Can't even force a smile When the slightest touch hurts your fingers And the heart bleeds for a while What do you do when someone you love Can't even speak your name And the bedroom has lost all feeling Yet still you try in vain You will leave You will leave me behind What do you do when someone you love Just isn't there anymore Their face is just a reflection Of the person you once adored You will leave You will leave me behind YOU WERE EVERYTHING YOU WERE EVERYTHING Its good to know you're home for Christmas Are there snow flakes upon your door Is this everything that you've wanted Now that I am there no more

This misty haze escapes your lips And draws a frame around your face Can anything be more beautiful And our past now a distant disgrace This Christmas I don't want to let you go But the world is always moving too slow You will never be a stranger to me Even if I am to you, you'l always know We were miss translated, under rated That I was never the one that you hated Let's bury all this shit into the snow For the world is always moving too slow This misty haze escapes my lips And draws a line beneath my heart Right below your initials The ones that you've carved This Christmas I don't want to let you go But the world is always moving too slow
