Death Can't Kill My Love for You

This is a song about a person who loses a lover, but not her love for him.

Verse: I cannot put into words how it felt to lose you

And I know it's hard to believe I'm rendered speechless

And even if it boils down to me wasting away thinking of you

I will do it in the blink of an eye and suffer the consequences

Hook: Lover, keep the light on as you walk out of the door

'Cause I'm going to be waiting up for you

And even though I know that you're never coming back

I know that I can imagine it...

Chorus: I am perfectly happy pretending

That our perfect love isn't ending

Even though, I know, you'd still be here if not for the final blow

I am perfectly happy with imagining

You and I together and having

The time of our lives, though now I sit here in silence, wondering

(What we could've been, are you wondering, too?)

Just know that death can't kill my love for you

Verse: That shallow breath that you held on to

Was the only thing that kept you with me for so long

And I am happy that you saved that last hollow breath for our last kiss

But, baby, I hate that you're missing this, I guess heaven only knows

Hook: That after you left I turned the light on

'Cause I would be eternally waiting up for you

And even though I knew you weren't coming back 

I imagined it...

Chorus: I am perfectly happy pretending

That our perfect love isn't ending

Even though, I know, you'd still be here if not for the final blow

I am perfectly happy with imagining

You and I together and having

The time of our lives, though now I sit here in silence, wondering

(What we could've been, are you wondering, too?)

Just know that death can't kill my love for you

Bridge: I would gladly sacrifice everything I have

For another touch of your skin against my calve

Rising up to the spot on my stomach where you laid

Where we experienced what it's like to be one with the person who made it all okay

Hook: After you left I turned the light on

Got on my knees and asked God to give me another minute

And even though I wanted you to come back, even though I desperately wanted you to

I got up and turned the light off

Chorus: I am perfectly happy pretending

That our perfect love isn't ending

Even though, I know, you'd still be here if not for the final blow

I am perfectly happy with imagining

You and I together and having

The time of our lives, though now I sit here in silence, wondering

(What we could've been, are you wondering, too?)

Just know that death can't kill my love for you
