You lived your life like you were on fire
But how can I dance, when your soul just lifted me
Higher and higher and higher
Paint bleeds, ink runs, image of your love
Your memory, our history
(Why did you have to go?)
I'd give up my eyes to see you one last time
And I'd give all my fingertips to touch you
And I could paint you picture perfect, even if I were blinded
You have to die for me to see how to live
(For me to see how, for me to see how oh, for me to see how, for me to see how to live)
I live my life hiding in shadows but now I can see
'Cause your soul is lifting me
Higher and higher and higher
Painfully, I can't breathe, need you here with me
Close my eyes I can feel you close
(Why did you have to go?)
I'd give up my eyes to see you one last time
And I'd give all my fingertips to touch you
And I could paint you picture perfect, even if I were blinded
You have to die for me to see how to live
Angels fall
It's not your fault
Time goes on without you
Good-bye old friend
We'll meet again
Life goes on without you
(Why did you have to go?)
I'd give up my eyes to see you one last time
And I'd give all my fingertips to touch you
And I could paint you picture perfect, even if I were blinded
You have to die for me to see how to live
(For me to see how, for me to see how oh, for me to see how, for me to see how to live)
But how can I dance, when your soul just lifted me
Higher and higher and higher
Paint bleeds, ink runs, image of your love
Your memory, our history
(Why did you have to go?)
I'd give up my eyes to see you one last time
And I'd give all my fingertips to touch you
And I could paint you picture perfect, even if I were blinded
You have to die for me to see how to live
(For me to see how, for me to see how oh, for me to see how, for me to see how to live)
I live my life hiding in shadows but now I can see
'Cause your soul is lifting me
Higher and higher and higher
Painfully, I can't breathe, need you here with me
Close my eyes I can feel you close
(Why did you have to go?)
I'd give up my eyes to see you one last time
And I'd give all my fingertips to touch you
And I could paint you picture perfect, even if I were blinded
You have to die for me to see how to live

(For me to see how, for me to see how oh, for me to see how, for me to see how to live)
