i try to hear her words
but she won't speak
it hurts
i loved to watch her stare
her face was so fair
but now it's just blank
she holds me so close
what she's scared of, no one knows
it brings the tear
she says please don't leave
this i could never conceive
myself without her
you're all i've got
please don't cry
i will hold you
through your darkest skies
don't be afraid
i'll keep you so near
i'll never leave
through all your fears
she says she's brought death
to what we've always had
with her lust
she took another man
into our own bed
and destroyed our trust
i found the note
under my head
i had to read to the police
all it had said
that old elm tree
just outside of town
is where they said
your body was found
our names carved
just below your feet
when we were kids
that's where we'd meet
it was windy day
when they cut you down
i held you again
crying on the ground
you're all i've got
please don't die
i would forgive
through my darkest skies
don't be afraid
i'll keep you near
i won't leave you
though you brought my fears
you're all i've got
please don't cry
i will hold you
through your darkest skies
don't be afraid
i'll keep you so near
i'll never leave
through all your fears
