AmeDeus - Before Your Eyes Could Open lyrics

rate me

Before your eyes could open I had to choose?Remorse<br />

A word I know so well<br />

If only I knew then of hell, self hatred, and regret<br />

A choice that I will not forget<br />

The choice, I made to dig your grave<br />

<br />

Before your eyes could open, before your voice could sing<br />

I closed them and I silenced you eternally<br />

I will never know, I will never know you<br />

Forgive me, please forgive me?!<br />

<br />

Chorus:<br />

This silence in the night was never my desire<br />

I wish that I could sing you back to sleep<br />

These lullabies I wrote are falling on dead ears<br />

And no right to choose in all the world<br />

Could swallow up these tears<br />

<br />

I look into your loving eyes<br />

So beautiful, so full of joy<br />

A hint of hers, a hint of mine<br />

Oh the dreams I have for you<br />

Oh the dreams?...I wake to find myself alone<br />

Reality returns to me as I realize (If only I had known)<br />

That this was never meant to be<br />

And you always were?Forgive me!<br />

<br />

(Chorus)<br />

<br />

I wish that I were handing you these roses on your birthday.<br />

Not laying them before a grave in which you will forever lay.<br />

Marked by a headstone on which is written<br />

I will never know your eyes,<br />

I will never know your voice, forgive me<br />

<br />

(Chorus)<br />

<br />

My God, my God<br />

You're the only one that can replace these pieces<br />

Stolen from my heart<br />

<br />
