Anemone (Unfading Love)

Sometimes I wish I’d met you long before*
Life did.
I would have held you closer, closer than my skin.
Closer.
Is breathing, still breathing?
A flower when the world only sees a whore
Somethings you did will be with you to the grave
But that doesn’t have to be a funeral today
Don’t have to give, give yourself away
Don’t say goodbye,
Don’t leave tonight.
This pain won’t last forever.
Don’t let this world take you
I’ve seen those tears you’ve cried.
I’ve seen those mistakes you’ve made.
And I was there when they hurt you,
And I’m still here for you.
And in the morning I still hear you,
Just like before singing.
And in the evening I can see you,
Dancing in the moonlight.
Are dreams, still dreaming?
Or are they now dead?
Forever to remain inside a little girl’s head
Somethings you did will be with you to the grave
But that doesn’t have to be a funeral today
Don’t have to give, give yourself away
Don’t say goodbye,
Don’t leave tonight.
This pain won’t last forever.
Don’t let this world take you
I’ve seen the tears you’ve cried.
I’ve seen the mistakes you’ve made.
And I was there when they hurt you,
And I’m still here for you.
Somethings you did will be with you to the grave
But that doesn’t have to be a funeral today
Don’t have to give, give yourself away
