I've fallen further than before Broken, left and bleeding from every pore Haunted by what could have been And drowning in the things I'd seen I was helpless, tired and sickened to the core And never knowing just what I'd find While solitarily bound and confined But with a look you left my heart impaled My train of thought had been derailed And I'd forgiven and forgotten All I'd left behind chorus So let my lonely heart's love flow And kill me gently, kill me slow Beyond all doubt and circumstance My heart and soul are in your hands So if this is not forever Let me go Choking on apprehension and surprise Enraptured by the sparkle in your eyes Because I thought I saw hope glimmer there My heart was lifted from despair And I surrendered to affection that never dies chorus
