The years pass on My breath fizzles away Leaving an empty shell
Hollow sound the echo No heart in the core For it is empty
Your absence wounds me And I'm left helpless Yet the river must flow on
The waterfall runs its course Until droplets feed the ground And it dries up
You say strength means I push on without my true half
Maybe I'm weak As my heartbeats slows And my shell dries up
Maybe I'm a monster Cold and unfeeling To the mortals who lean on me
Let me lie by your side Yet once again Your fire igniting mine
Let my shell blaze bright And my heart race faster So I can be whole again.
