I'm pulling these words through the tears
That will soon crash down on me.
So bear with me, I'm trying hard
To say what I have deep within my heart.
I wanted to thank you for loving me once,
You saved me, for a moment.
You don't know how much
Every little word you ever spoke to me
Lifted my heavy heart and helped me to see.
I don't mean to hurt you with tears I shed,
I want you to be happy, so... smile instead.
I'll never be able to thank you enough,
Thank you is only a phrase,
Uttered, muffled, repeated...sincere...
But I apologize if I make things rough.
Please don't cry, or hurt, or let yourself get down.
I'm in love with you. I'm pouring my heart out...
All becasue I want to.
I don't mind hurting, as so much as the cause is just,
And love... My sweet young woman...
Is worth it all. Truthfully.
You made my world a better place...
You made so many smiles
Slowly appear on my face.
I'm sorry I let you down... I tried to life you up.
But for all the hell I went through...
I guess I was never good enough.
Don't you argue. I'm as stubborn as ever.
All I want to do is thank you
Forever and ever.
So, as these tears begin to swell my eyes,
I'll say as sweet a goodbye
As ever I could say, to the one I'll love so much
In your care, I was so much better.
In your arms I was loved.
In my eyes you were perfect...
Perfectly flawed.
In my dreams you were happy...
In my heart I saw
Something, I thought, that could make me glad
Even if my face seemed to look sad.
You mistook my emotions, I wish you had trusted
My word over my expressions...
Away from everything, I truely was smiling.
Can I just thank you for loving me once...
As I lay dieing...?
