(Verse 1)
I’m standing in front of the mirror, scissors in my hand
Tracing the history of us, strand by heavy strand.
Some say that hair carries memories, deep inside the curl
The secrets of a woman, the heartbreak of a girl.
It holds the moments I want to keep, like the way you say my name
And the ones I’d rather forget, the shadows and the shame.
In my case, I guess the bad outshines the good
I’d cut away half of my life, if I only understood...
Why the good days are turning to ashes daily.
(Pre-Chorus)
But then I close my eyes, and your image is engraved
The only part of this life that I really want saved.
We didn’t choose to fall, we didn’t write the design
Fate just took your hand and placed it into mine.
(Chorus)
To the world out there, you are just one face
But to this one person, you are the entire space.
I love you with the breath I take, with everything I possess
A love that finds no definition, a chaotic, beautiful mess.
I’d forget half my life, I’d let the memories burn
Just to keep the lesson that your eyes made me learn:
Snow is the gift of winter, sun is the gift of summer skies,
But you are the gift of a lifetime, the light within my eyes.
(Verse 2)
Your love is a silence that words cannot express
It cuts through the noise, it cures the distress.
I used to see just a man, passing through the view
But everything changed the moment I fell into you.
Your eyes call out to mine, across the miles, across the fear
And suddenly the distance doesn't feel so severe.
Your hands embrace my own, though I can't feel the skin
I know exactly where you end and where I begin.
(Bridge)
How can I repent for loving you, when my heart belongs to you?
I’ll repent for my mistakes, for the things I didn’t do.
But the sin of loving you is one I will never forsake
It’s the only vow I kept, the only rule I didn’t break.
You asked ne, "What is life like without me?" in the dark
I smiled and said, "Who told you I am living without your spark?"
(Guitar/Violin Solo - Melancholic but hopeful)
(Outro)
So let the hair fall to the floor, let the ashes blow away
I don’t need the history, I only need today.
If my feelings were ink and your sky were the page
I’d write "I love you" on the moon, beyond this cage.
My love... can distances separate us, if we remain true?
I’d forget half of my life...
Just to remember you.
