ACT 10: DAVID's GRIEF

[Intro] Sebastian... Can you hear me? Please... Open your eyes... [Verse 1] I thought I held tomorrow Inside a crystal tear... A cure to steal you from the night... Instead I brought you here. Your hands are growing colder... Your heartbeat fades away... I only wanted one more life... Not this... Not this today... [Pre-Chorus] If love could turn the hands of time... I'd gladly bleed my years... I'd trade every sunrise I will ever know... To wake you from these tears. [Chorus] Don't leave me here... Don't leave me in this lonely human dawn... The world is far too empty If your shadow's gone. Take every breath I've borrowed... Take every dream I've known... Just... Don't... Leave... Me... Alone. [Piano Interlude] [Verse 2] Forgive these foolish hands of mine... They reached beyond their place. I called it hope... I called it love... It carried death... Wearing mercy's face. I thought that I was saving you... I never saw the cost. Now every prayer inside my soul... Is drowning... In the love I've lost. [Pre-Chorus] If I had known... If I had seen... The poison dressed as grace... I'd burn that cursed vial Before I'd watch The light leave your face. [Chorus] Don't leave me here... Please don't become a memory... Don't make forever Just another word For what can never be. The stars can keep their heaven... The night can keep its throne... Just... Don't... Leave... Me... Alone... [Bridge] [Only a single piano note between phrases] Look at me... Please... Scold me... Smile... Call me your stubborn fool... Anything... Anything... Just don't be silent... (Pause) I can't learn How to breathe In a world That forgot Your name. [Final Chorus] [Piano grows slightly stronger] Take every heartbeat from my chest... If yours has slipped away... Take every drop Of life I own... Take all my tomorrows... Take every piece of me... If somehow It will bring you back... Because forever... Forever... Was never... Heaven... It was... You. [Outro] [Piano slows] (Sobbing) Sebastian... If there is any part of you Still listening... Come back to me... Please...
