Before I Let You Go

[Verse 1]
Woke up to mourning and screams in the night
Awaking from another fright
Vision so vivid, one should never know
The screams I rose to were my own
-
Watching the blood fall away from her mouth
as the dirt falls quickly to her face.
Bathe in cold sweat as my heart does pound.
The rhythmic shovel falls in place.

[Chorus]
So before I let you go,
let me speak to you as though
you're alive tonight for this.
Let me steal just one more kiss.

[Verse 2]
Slippin away to the darkness of day
as my eyes grow heavy. Life grows weary.
Constant reminders, my consciousness plagued
with uncertainty as I slip away.
-
The nightmares of day, they're all here to stay
They'll keep you awake, though you know it's all fake.
Except for this one which I'm living today
As my love has truly died away

[Chorus]
So before I let you go,
let me speak to you as though
you're alive tonight for this.
Let me steal just one more kiss.
Stare into your vacant eyes,
fixed on sunny pastel skies.
Wish you were alive tonight for this.
Let me steal just one more kiss.


[Bridge]
I lay next to you with a lily in my hand
saying "life just ain't fair" and I don't understand
how this happened to you.
The moment's so true,
and I want to know who
would do this much to you.

[Verse 3]
These wilted flowers and these shallow graves
Mark the site of the death of braves
Constant reminders of their final days,
lullabies helping me slip away.
-
The nightmares of day, they're all here to stay.
They'll keep you awake, though you know it's all fake.
Except for this one which I'm living today
As my love has truly died away

[Chorus]
So before I let you go,
let me speak to you as though
you're alive tonight for this.
Let me steal just one more kiss.
Stare into your vacant eyes,
fixed on sunny pastel skies.
Wish you were alive tonight for this.
Let me steal just one more kiss.
