There was a you
There was a me
There was a 'us'
That just couldn't be.

There was a star
There was a dream
There was a war
That our love couldn't win.

If I would die
Please be my grave
If I would live
Die in my name.

Love was my calvary,
Hate was my cross;
Tears became a waterfall,
What happened to us?

Hope has gone to heaven
Trust has gone to hell
Love was what I had left,
I lost it when I fell.

Cupid's arrow backfired,
I was there when he died.
He told me to love you,
I couldn't. I lied.

They say real men don't cry
They say real mean have pride
They say poets never fall...
I fell. I cried.

Please remember
The end of my song;
Though my body weakens,
My heart is still young.

I'll breathe in your laughter
I'll die when you cry
And if your tears will heal me,
I'll sleep in your eyes.

There was a melody,
There was a song;

If tears be the music of love,
Cry when I'm gone...
