(Verse 1) Once you whispered soft to me, Beneath the ash and broken tree. You said you'd stay through dark and flame… But now you hide behind my name. (Verse 2) Your hands are warm in someone’s bed, While mine are cold, though never dead. You moved along, forgot my face— But love like mine does not erase. (Chorus) Sleep, my dear, though years have passed, I held your vows, I held them fast. You broke our bond when you let go… But I still wait, and I still know. (Verse 3) They buried me in silence deep, But even bones can wake from sleep. I roam the halls you call your own, To hum the tune of love alone. (Bridge – Whispered) I stitched your name into my shroud, I call it softly, not too loud. And when the night is thin and wide— I slip between… and stand beside. (Final Chorus – Twisted lullaby) Sleep, my love, no need to run, I kept your heart… I’ve just begun. You may forget, you may feel fine— But you were always… Always mine.
