Like a fish gasping for air
From my hands you slipped away
I could not give you the ring you were willing to take

Just one thing for which you asked
But I was too afraid
and when I learned to say I love you
it was much too late

but now I can tell you
that you are the one
if you come back I will give you my life
and promise you the moon and the sun
if you were with me now
I would understand how love is true
But I let my doubts dictate
and failed to see the splendour in you

I carry the curse of man through my veins
The more I fall in love the heavier I feel the chains

But alone in the silence
I see it so clear
to believe
is not to fear
