I never wanted to learn how I might live without you. I never wanted to learn how to be free of desire. I only wanted to learn to build a life at your side, simply continue to learn the gladness of being your fire. What's there to hold on to me when I just feel like dying? What's there to hold on to me after you've gone away? I never wanted to learn how not to need you, need you. I only wanted to learn how I could love you more... What's there to hold on to me when I just feel like dying? What's there to hold on to me after you've gone away? What's there to hold on to me when I just feel like crying? What's it that holds on to me that keeps me from floating away? Remember when the things we said came true with such importance? Remember when, upon our bed, no sense of time marked our dance? Remember when each day we lived was like a dream never lost? Remember when we loved to give without a thought at what cost? What's there to hold on to me when I just feel like dying? What's there to hold on to me after you've gone away? What's there to hold on to me when I just feel like crying? What's it that holds on to me that keeps me from floating away? Are we all just survivors of broken loves, once holy? How do we build our lives, here, knee deep in rubble and tears? Am I just one survivor, one among far too many, trying to feel alive when all that I want is you. |
