[Intro] They'll tell you I destroyed everything for you. Like that's supposed to make me a monster. But if they had loved someone the way I loved you... wouldn't they have done the same? Isolde... I can still hear you. [Verse 1] There was a kingdom before the mist, a throne I never wanted like this. Gold on my shoulders, your hand inside mine, you made immortality feel like wasting time. Then death came quietly, stole you from the room, and suddenly forever was an empty fucking tomb. They said, “Let her go.” Like love was something I could simply choose. Tell me what would you burn if you had nothing left to lose? [Pre-Chorus] I crossed every ocean. I opened every grave. If death could take you from me, then death could learn to behave. I heard them call it madness. I called it keeping my word. You promised me forever... and forever is what I heard. [Chorus] So I'll tear open heaven if you're somewhere inside. Let the whole world drown in black if it brings you back to life. Kingdoms fall. Let them. I don't need a crown If you're buried beneath eternity I'll burn eternity down. I loved you past the ending, past reason, past goodbye. If losing you is living... then I refuse to survive. Isolde... Come back to me... Forever... [Verse 2] There's something moving in the mist. Sometimes... I swear it's you. A shadow wearing memories, a voice I almost knew. So I follow every whisper, every fragment, every trace. I've put together pieces just to almost see your face. And every time you disappear, I lose you once again. So tell me how I'm supposed to stop when stopping means you're dead. [Pre-Chorus II] They say I'm hurting people. They say I've lost control. They say the thing I'm chasing isn't you anymore. But they didn't know us. They weren't there. They don't understand. ... Do they? [Chorus II] I'll tear open heaven if you're somewhere inside. Let the whole world drown in black if it brings you back to life. Kingdoms fall Let them. Nothing matters now If you're buried beneath eternity I'll drag eternity out I loved you past the ending, past mercy, past goodbye If this isn't love... then why does it hurt this much? [Bridge] Isolde? ... Why are you looking at me like that? I did this for you. Every kingdom. Every grave. Every soul. I I did it... for you. Didn't I? Or did I do it because I couldn't bear a world where you could leave me? ...oh. [Breakdown] Maybe somewhere along the way “I miss you” became “You belong to me.” Maybe I stopped trying to bring you back... and started trying to make death obey me. And maybe love was never supposed to survive like this. [FINAL CHORUS] I tore open heaven and you weren't waiting inside. I drowned the whole world searching for something already gone. Kingdoms fell. For nothing. And I'm still wearing the crown. I burned eternity looking for you... and you're still not here now. I loved you past the ending, until love forgot your name. I kept calling this devotion while everything decayed. And if loving you means letting the memory of you die... Then maybe for the first time... I have to say goodbye. Goodbye... I loved you... I lost you... I know the difference now... [Outro ] I thought letting go meant admitting, I didn't love you enough. Maybe...it means admitting you were never mine to keep. Goodbye, my love.
