Ever Since - A Letter For The Lady Who Haunts My Nights lyrics

Despite myself

I make the most of this long sleepless night

To jot down these lines

We say that the heart has its reasons,

That reason doesn't always understand

I hope mine isn't lost

I will have needed time to understand

To write to help me come out of this mist

To know how to find the right words

Even though I'm aware that you won't read them

But I know you are here !

I feel your gaze turn on me,

But what does it matter ?

I have to empty my mind, make my heart cry

What could I have done to help you ?

I would have covered you with my skin

If I had been able to remove it...

Just to warm up you

In your shaking arms, I would have rolled off my strength

So that you might defend yourself

Pierced by pain

Your body would have passed through mine

And we would have shared it

But now, I have to relearn to live... Whithout you

Afflicted by much sorrow

I try to cross life...

To have been able to write all these thoughts

Which obsess and torment me,

Relieves my conscience

I only have to forget everything,

Start anew

And give my life a new meaning...
