The everlasting sadness enters in beneath me,
Captures me and leaves me here with thee.
Like a dying rose dependent on love,
All is lost and seems to be at sea.
Stealing all the life I have left,
You've dragged me back and forth; it's like theft.
You come and go; tear me up-
And make me stop to catch a breath.
Been too dependent for way too long.
Your touch, your gaze can't continue to make me strong.
Need to grasp onto my heart, need to understand-
That trying to be with you is completely wrong.
Unless your love is stronger than anyone else's can be,
Let the dying rose wilt on thee.
Shower it in pieces over your head-
Then let them stay lost at sea.
