The keys to my half-lit fractured heart

Oathbreaker



How I envision this time with you 
In a half-lit hospital room 
I'm scared to lose 
The candle is about to be blown 
And I'll be left here alone 
With your words so strong in pools of gone 
I'm reaching out but you fall 

How I see a talk with you 
In a faint crumbling night 
I'm afraid to understand 
What we had last time 
When you pulled out of this life 

When your hopes were up high 
I'm reaching out by now you're gone 

Where will I find the nerves to ask 
In this clouded confused head 
I feel your doubts alone 
When it grasped you by the head 
All you could do was stare 
Your gaze so strong 
I'm still reaching out 

When will I retrieve the keys 
To my half-lit fractured heart 
I'd love nothing more 
Than to hear your withering voice 
How could you go without me
I reached out but it left you cold
