from Moments single + MY STORY album.

Your heart was burning
Giving off a scorching smell
That was the end of dreams
And the beginning of everything else
Things which we long for
Are so beautiful
And because we can’t reach it
That’s why its shine was so bright
The pieces of your shattered dream
Pierce into my heart
I can never forget
The pain that is carved there
If I were as transcient as a flower
I’ll bloom proudly beside you
And after witnessing your smile
I’ll quietly wilt away alone
As you stood in the abyss
Which they call despair
Just what was the scenery
You saw through your eyes?
Losing your destination, wandering lost
The heart you’ve exposed
Fearful of being touched
Is surrounded by sharp thorns
If I could fly like a bird
I’ll soar over to your side
And those wounds on your back
I’ll soothe them over with my wings
If I were as transcient as a flower
I’ll bloom proudly beside you
And after witnessing your smile
I’ll quietly wilt away alone
If I could fly like a bird
I’ll soar over to your side
And those wounds on your back
I’ll soothe them over with my wings
If I could flow like the wind
I’ll travel to your side
If I could shine like the moon
I’ll continue to shine upon you
If you no longer
Have to lay your eyes
On frightening things ever again
I’ll become anything
