Alesana - The Last Three Letters

Dearest love,
I hope this message finds you well,
as these endless thoughts drip from my soul.
Every single word secretly paints a fairytale
of when we will melt into one.

Eyes forfeit sight to the pain.
Cold scalpel's steel whispers tear at my very core,
as I cling to my memories of you.
I am so scared, so scared… I need you with me.

Were the last words that I wrote for you enough to tell you
that in my death the light, that shone through my painful darkness,
was a blinding vision of your eternal smile?

It's me again,
is it me or am I wrong to be concerned?
Will the beauty of your pen ever cross my eyes again?
Was this all a lie? Why? Were the last words that I wrote for you enough to tell you
that in my death the light, that shone through my painful darkness,
was a blinding vision of your eternal smile?

Make it stop, make this pounding in my head, stop…
Fill my lungs with air, give me one more day to make her dreams come true.
She understands right? That I'm not coming back?
She understands right? That I'm not coming back?
Make it stop, make the pounding stop…
I'm not coming back, I'm not coming back, I'm not coming back...
I don't know what happened...
Who would have thought my life would end up like this?
I never even got the chance to see her face,
or to touch her hair, and now it's too late.
I didn't mean to hurt her, not hurt her like this…
I can't feel my legs, I can't feel my legs and I can't even cry…
How could someone die like this?
Who would have though my life would end up like this?

If my words even reach you, I'll assume you don’t care…
Never knew that silence could cut so deep or that you could twist the blade,
now I curse all of your beautiful lies.
I love you and goodbye.

Were the last words that I wrote for you enough to tell you
that in my death the light, that shone through my painful darkness,
was a blinding vision of your eternal smile?

Cold scalpel's steel whispers tear at my very core,
as I cling to my memories of you.
