The city still bleeds beneath the neon haze Streetlights flicker like ghosts calling out your name I walk these broken avenues alone Carrying a heart that never found its way home You were the warmth inside December's hands The only color in this world of ash and black But fate drew lines we couldn't cross And left us staring through the glass Every night I hear your voice Like thunder rolling through the rain Every dream becomes a funeral For the life we couldn't save Black feathers falling from a blood-red sky Your memory follows me wherever I hide Some loves don't die They just survive Buried alive beneath the passing time And I'd trade every breath I've ever known To feel your heartbeat next to mine But the years keep pulling us apart While you're the ghost that haunts my heart Do you still sit beside the window when it storms? Wondering if I'm alive? Or what I've become? Do you still trace my name across your mind, When the world grows quiet at night? I hope you never see these scars I hope you never find the darkness where I live The anger became my shelter The rage became my skin Because without you every sunrise Feels like another wound to bear The world kept turning after you But I never made it there Black feathers falling from a blood-red sky Your memory follows me wherever I hide Some loves don't die They just survive Buried alive beneath the passing time And I'd trade every breath I've ever known To feel your heartbeat next to mine But the years keep pulling us apart While you're the ghost that haunts my heart I remember your fingers intertwined with mine The silence between our hearts I remember the nights we disappeared together And making love beneath the stars For one brief moment The heavens opened wide And your skin against mine Was the closest thing to paradise The closest thing to heaven I've ever known Twenty years... Twenty years of empty rooms Twenty years of speaking to shadows You became the light I became the storm You found a way to live I found ways to die Every crow that circles overhead Carries another piece of me away Every rainy night Drags your name across my veins I still love you! I STILL LOVE YOU! But I'd rather wander this darkness forever Than let you see What this world turned me into They say it can't rain all the time But I'm trapped inside a life of storms Your memory my only light The only thing to keep me warm Black feathers falling through the midnight rain Still I carry every word you never said The world moved on The years moved on But my heart remained where we began And somewhere far beyond these streets I know you've built a beautiful life Maybe sometimes you still think of me Like a fading photograph in candlelight And if the crow still flies between our worlds Let it carry this message through the storm: You were my light You were my home And while you danced beneath the sun I wandered through the shadows alone Still loving you Still loving you Still loving you Long after the rain has gone Buildings burn People die... BUT REAL LOVE IS FOREVER!
