Farewell

Written as lyrics to Apocalyptica's song Farewell.

You are the heartbeat in my chest.
Without you'd I'd crumble, turn to dust.
And I may not always say your name,
But, oh, how I need you.

You are the clouds that bring the rain;
Without you I'd wither.
And I am not always with you,
But, oh, how I love you.

And if you were to ever leave me,
My whole world would die, my darling.
And whenever I gaze upon you,
I feel I can fly.

I need you here.
You need to stay.
I'll never let you go.
You can't leave.
You can't go away.
I need you here.
You need to stay.
I'll never let you go.
You can't leave.
You can't go.

You are the breeze that lifts me up.
You take me to Heaven on your wings.
And when you are far away from me,
Oh, how I miss you.

And if you were to ever leave me,
I know I would die, my darling.
And whenever you whisper to me,
My soul is on fire.

I need you here.
You need to stay.
I just want you to know
You can't leave,
You can't go away.
I need you here.
You need to stay.
You're all I'm living for.
You can't leave.
You can't go.

We will survive.
We will survive.
We'll walk right through the flames
And the sun will shine on us.
But you can't leave.
You need to stay.
For all eternity,
Stay here with me.
Promise me.
