Everything I Love

Every time I look at my life
I see every single lie
All the things I’ve tried to hide
To paint darkness with light

Every time we talk after silence
A few days apart in madness
I know I’m alone in this
Eternal cascade of dreams

I hate myself for this hope
Every thought about you
For this anguish longing for you
You feel heavy because of this love
Every dream I write for you
Every verse I paint with you

I hate myself for this world within
Living in me with a blossom feeling
For every unspoken word and song unsung
I cry in the night until I’m done

I hate myself for this hope
Every thought about you
For this anguish longing for you
You feel heavy because of this love
Every dream I write for you
Every verse I share with you

When I stop dreaming of your voice
I don’t really know
This is my swansong heart choice
To keep in a flow
Belong to this smoke in fading echoes

I hate myself for this hope
Every thought about you
For this anguish longing for you
You feel heavy because of this love
Every dream I write for you
Every verse I share with you

I stop only if my heart has no rhythm
And the world fades with all my believing
Is there any chance not to be just a dream?

Everything I love lives in you
Every scar, every song, every tale
All the memories we share
I love everything I find in you
Every sin, every wound, every pain
Every movie time and coffee day
I love everything with you
