you're admirable,
to a girl who's lost
all her belief

like a moth to the flame,
lead me down the alter
it will never matter

life or death
as long as i burn
burst within this perdition

the fire in your eyes
talk about the future
point out the possibilities

give it to me,
give me the falsehood
the want to dream

i don't care if it happens
i just long to feel
how deeply you must feel

is it beautiful?

i've missed the yearning
the tug of the heartstrings
the strength to push ahead

long ago,
my father left to buy cigarettes
and somehow my lungs feel rotten

like he's been here
destroying my voice
killing my confidence

believe me,
you're the first
the stranger who saw

heard the lingering fear
watched as my light began to flicker
but never complained

you're admirable
to a girl like me
bright and warm

could you let me savor this peace?
