You say it hurts to even swallow

So we sit together here, I squeeze your frozen hands bare,

The lights are gone from your eyes, Baby, I am willing to let go all my keys.

A dark twisting path lies at bay, I have lost my lantern to light your way.

You say it hurts to even swallow.

Tell me, why is even a smile so mellow?

Every night I kiss your forehead, with dreams of fairy tales to read.

I keep on telling myself to believe, “Yes, yes, tomorrow she will live.”

Rain covers all the lands with passion, my eyes have grown impatient.

You say it hurts to even swallow.

Tell me, will the future be a mere shadow?

Hold my hand, hold my hand, sunlight has been banned from land

Many tears I have to shed now, flashes of happy dreams trashed in a vow.

Even if there is no tomorrow, I guess we will allow.

You say it hurts to even swallow.

Trust me, baby, it hurts to me even much, much more somehow.
