Words, there are no words to tell you how I feel right now,
No words that I can say can mean the tears I’m crying now.
Voice, there is no voice left in me that I can sing with now,
No voice left in me that I can speak with, can scream with now...
And fear, all that’s left is fear...
And pain, ‘cause my heart won’t fit here...
Fix me, hold me in your hands until you
Fix me, take me in your heart until mine’s
Beating again, lend me your breath until I’m
Breathing again, ‘cause I can’t breathe inside myself yet.
Hands, in these two hands, a trembling soul that’s not my own.
No, my own two hands do not belong to this new soul.
Same, I’m not the same and I can’t tell who I am now.
Not the same and I don’t know who this is... Who is this?
And fear, all that’s left is fear...
And pain, ‘cause my heart won’t fit here...
Fix me, hold me in your hands until you
Fix me, take me in your heart until mine’s
Beating again, lend me your breath until I’m
Breathing again, ‘cause I can’t breathe inside myself yet.
