There was something I needed to tell you
Before your world came crashing down
You won't be lost out here for ever
No matter how long the road I'll always follow
I know I was gone a long time
There were things I needed to do
Like finding my missing pieces
I know that it sounds cliché
But I've made improvements, yeah
Well I've made improvements well
And all beauty fades
And everything changed
You know that nothing's gonna last forever
And the love that you hold you'll never let go
They'll never convince you that this wasn't real
When you heard that they'd died
And you couldn't cry
It sure as hell wasn't from lack of trying
And all beauty fades
And everything changed
But you'll always be mine
There are years with you I'll never remember
Days I couldn't forget
There's "I'm sorrys" for the ways you were treated
Please forgive me for lies I've not got to yet
'Cause I just died in that doorway
Your breath is where I'll begin
You're when the devil took his words out of my mouth
And God touched my skin
And all beauty fades
And everything changed
You know that nothing's gonna last forever
And the love that you hold you'll never let go
They'll never convince you that this wasn't real
When you heard that they'd died
And you couldn't cry
It sure as hell wasn't from lack of trying
And all beauty fades
And everything changed
But you'll always be mine
You know you'll always be mine
And every time that I closed my eyes
I see you running through that door to me
And where would I be if you hadn't held me
You hadn't held me in your arms
Held me in your arms
Held me in your arms
And all beauty fades
And everything changed
You know that nothing's gonna last forever
And the love that you hold you'll never let go
They'll never convince you that this wasn't real
When you heard that they'd died
And you couldn't cry
It sure as hell wasn't from lack of trying
And all beauty fades
And everything changed
But you'll always be mine
You know you'll always be mine
Before your world came crashing down
You won't be lost out here for ever
