IN ANOTHER WORLD I COULD’VE SEEN YOUR EYES
I COULDN’VE KNOWN YOUR SMILE
TOUCH YOUR SKIN AND FEEL YOUR HEART BEAT
BUT IF I’M NOT OKAY, WHAT WOULD YOUR LIFE BE LIKE
IF I BRING YOU BACK TO LIFE, YOUR AFFLICTION WOULD BE MINE
AND TO SEE YOU CRY, I’D FEEL SO GUILTY THAT I HAD TRAPPED YOU IN A

WORLD SO VILE
WHAT HAVE I CURSED YOU TO
IF YOU EVER FEEL THE WAY I DO
WITH A GOLDEN HEART
TO BE IN PAIN AND SUFFER INSIDE
LIKE A DIAMOND AMONG THE STONES
A GARDEN FOR THE SNAKES TO PLAY
SO HOW COULD I MAKE YOU STAY

OF ALL OF THE STITCHES AND ALL OF THE SCARS RUNNING THROUGH MY

HEART

THAT KEEP ME FROM BLEEDING OUT, FROM FALLING APART

THIS WOUND SET INSIDE
I FEEL IT ALL OF THE TIME

AND WHEN I’M BROKEN HOW COULD I INFLICT THIS UPON YOU TOO

ENDLESS AFFLICTIONS BLOOM IN BABY BLUE

I CHOOSE TO SPARE YOU
