There’s an ache that’s burning inside you, I want to stop it
I’m making it my mission to always watch it
If it would make you healthy I’d steal your sickness
And if you want me breaking, I’ll crumble to bits
‘Cause I won’t be the one to let you fall to pieces again
And I won’t be the one to let you fall to pieces again
I’ll sacrifice everything I have to have you
My possessions mean nothing if they don’t include
Your presence and your gifted beauty next to
My own depletion journey it’s all that I’ll do
‘Cause I won’t be the one to let you fall to pieces again
And I won’t be the one to let you fall to pieces again
I will put the world in your hands just to prove I exist
And I will steal the stars for you if you will be my eclipse
I see the constellations make up images of you
I seek no consultations I am perfectly in tune
This night I wish for nothing more but to be next to you
‘Cause all the galaxies and universes aren’t as grand as everything you do
‘Cause I won’t be the one to let you fall to pieces again
And I won’t be the one to let you fall to pieces again
I will put the world in your hands just to prove I exist
And I will steal the stars for you if you will be my eclipse
