• I wondered what it was to meet death
    but I fell in love with you
    I hoped you would rid me of my loneliness
    but even with you I was alone

    I wondered what passion was
    you gave me a match
    I wished for solace
    what I got was pandemonium

    I wounded myself trying to reach you
    Never letting go, but never seeing
    the blood pour from my wrists
    or the tears pool in your eyes

    I hoped death would meet me half way
    But who I met was you
    Pulling me from the light back to you
    Back to our sanctuary of shadows

    I wondered what it was to meet death
    Now I know, it was the pain of blindness
    to myself and your painful solitude
    I won't forget your words "I won't fail you again''

    More powerful than three little words
    Even now they ring true
    I once wandered carelessly towards death
    but instead I fell in love with you
