I see the darkness o'er run my eyes
there is nothing for me here
it never was close to near
the blackness is what I cry
for every bit of happiness I found
into the dirt I was ground
before I knew her love
my heart didn't move
I was to die unloved and alone
nothing left but dust and bone
but she had to open my heart
to make me love to make me start
to show me that there was more to life
and fill it with love, then fill it with strife
in truth I will never complain
she filled me with love and equal parts pain
but she showed what it is to be alive
and maybe to this end again I will strive
but not for now I need to be alone
to close my heart to turn to stone
there is nothing for me here
it never was close to near

for every bit of happiness I found

nothing left but dust and bone
but she had to open my heart
