My medicine, my poison, your curse

My blessing, your disease, my never ever

Your frozen fire, waiting for a source

My lost and found, your stay alone together

 

My blushed hello, your last untrue forgive me

My salty memory, your bitter drops of guilt

Your chains of gold, my quiet “never leave me”

My crystal castle that you'll never build

 

I'll let you vanish right before I let you 

Carve traces of yourself into my heart

I left your world behind before I met you 

Before we lost the right to be apart.
