Verse 1
Something shattered deep inside me
When your trembling voice broke through
All the years of endless silence
Led me back to loving you
I carried all these ghosts and memories
Through every wound and every scar
And now you’re here inside my arms again
No matter where you are
Pre-Chorus
Breathe for me tonight
Just stay here in the dark
Feel your heartbeat calling
Through the ruins of my heart
Chorus
I loved you when I lived
I love you now I’m gone
I would cross a thousand heavens
Just to hear your voice once more
When the stars burn out forever
When the skies forget our names
I’ll be waiting in the shadows
Calling softly through the rain
You are the reason
I never let go
The reason I remain
Verse 2
Your tears fall like shattered diamonds
Against these frozen hands of mine
And every second that I hold you
Feels like stolen sacred time
I dreamed of this a thousand lifetimes
Of your head against my chest
Never knowing fate would leave us
Broken by its cruel jest
Pre-Chorus
Look into my eyes
Tell me you’re still here
You’re the only light I’ve followed
Through eternity and fear
Chorus
I loved you when I lived
I love you now I’m gone
I would cross a thousand heavens
Just to hear your voice once more
When the stars burn out forever
When the skies forget our names
I’ll be waiting in the shadows
Calling softly through the rain
You are the reason
I never let go
The reason I remain
Bridge
Death could never keep me from you
Time could never pull us apart
I carried your name through every darkness
Like a prayer inside my heart
And if the universe should break us
If every world should fade away
I’d still find you in the ashes
I’d still choose you every day
Final Chorus
I loved you when I lived
I love you now I’m gone
And I’ll love you through forever
Long after the end has come
When the stars burn out forever
When the oceans cease to be
You’ll still find me in the silence
You’ll still hear me calling
Because my soul remembers
What heaven couldn’t erase
I loved you then
I love you now
And I will love you
Until the stars burn out
