[Verse 1] Yeah, it’s all my fault / I wanted this, I swear / that’s why I left you my key / still you rang out there / and I still want you / just the same / like the very first night / I called your name. / [Chorus] Just a breath ago / I was whole in your light / now I’m alone / in the ruins of night. / You never meant to break / my heart again / but I don’t learn / I live inside the pain. / I’d rather miss you / than feel nothing instead. / [Verse 2] Forty-four years / forty-two for others / gave my joy away / like air to lovers. / Still I’m happy for you / I breathe for you / alive through you / though I fade from view. / Better for you / than ever for me / that’s the curse / I chose to be. / [Chorus] Just a breath ago / I was whole in your light / now I’m alone / in the ruins of night. / You never meant to break / my heart again / but I don’t learn / I live inside the pain. / I’d rather miss you / than feel nothing instead. / [Bridge 1] The night spreads her wings / over me / and the child inside / bows to longing’s decree. / Whoever loves freedom / must taste solitude / and I can’t be fine / without you. / I’d rather tear my soul / in two / than live at peace / away from you. / [Chorus] Just a breath ago / I was whole in your light / now I’m alone / in the ruins of night. / You never meant to break / my heart again / but I don’t learn / I live inside the pain. / I’d rather miss you / than feel nothing instead. / [Verse 3] Thoughtless thought / I opened every door again / no reason why / no logic, no plan. / Was it right / was it sane / was it kind / the question never / crossed my mind. / It wasn’t why / it was still / it was then / it was anyway / and again. / [Bridge 2] What you dream from yourself / makes me whole / you’re the sweetest nothing / that completes my soul. / Your eyes / pure madness / sense divine / how could this end / if your heart’s still mine. / You taught it to turn / forever and bend / how could this love / ever find an end. / [Final Chorus] Just a breath ago / I was whole in your light / now I’m alone / in the ruins of night. / You never meant to break / my heart again / but I don’t learn / I live inside the pain. / I’d rather miss you / than feel nothing instead. / [Outro / Spoken] It was beautiful / that you were here... your promises — even when they
