Soft was the blade that cut my throat

Sweet was the poison I swallowed

Soft was the rope around my neck

And bliss the pain in which I swallowed

You found me shattered

My soul so fiercely battered

Lying on the floor

One glimpse of your eyes

I knew you could make me rise

Whole and strong again

Slow was the fall that crushed my bones

Warm the fire that burned me

Fresh the blood that escaped

And true the love love that hurt me

So please forgive me

For making us wait and see

If this love would reign true

I know now why I breathe

I know now why my heart beats

Only to be in love with thee
