No greater love has a woman or man... rev. 2

I saw the tears you were crying,
But can't hear, the words you said,
Don't know where they came from,
But I can't get them outta my head.
So, here I am, slowly sinking,
Wond'ring what more can I do?
When breath keeps on failing,
Ev'ry time you say we're through.

So it's "Thanks for the memories,"
and for the spit in the eye, but,
I'll let you know when you're done with me,
'Cause I'm yours 'til the day that I die.

Silence speaks louder than words can
when you turn and won't meet my gaze,
Time slowly puts distance between us,
While you're the one who's pulling away.
I can watch for a while from a distance,
Force a smile, 'til you're ready to talk,
'Bout all of the tears, and whispers of fears,
and your heart, that you guard like a rock.

I sat down beside you, reached for your hand,
When I found you last night in the park,
Said the first thing that came to my mind,
And shattered, when it hit the mark.
For hours we sat quietly talking,
Regretting all the time that we lost,
Revealing what your lies nearly cost,
When you thought I should be kept in the dark.

But it's thanks to my memories,
A way forward I see,
With your secret laid bare, we can start to repair,
'Cause I'm yours, 'til the day that I die.

Now I'm outside, through the glass looking in,
Watching a nurse fold the curtains away,
I swipe at my eyes,
'Cause I know what it means.
This ain't farewell — it's just a reprieve
'til I can picture your smile and believe,
But I'm bitter and broken by dreams,
of a future that coulda been—

So thanks for the memories,
Moments that slipped through our hands,
I'll forgive and forget, but it's not over yet,
'Cause I'm yours 'til the day that I die...

I'll be back in your arms when I die.
