Vampyre Angel (Whole Again)

What you see before you,
is what you left of me.
How am I to get over you,
when you won’t let me be?

I can’t give you your life
I can’t give you my soul
I won’t give you what’s left of me
so let me be
until I’m whole again

All the nights we spent together,
the way your lips feel on my skin,
these images till echo in my mind
and break my heart again.

I can’t give you love
I won’t give you my heart
you can’t have what’s left of me
so let me be
‘cause I’m whole again

What more could you want from me,
that I haven’t already tried to give?
And watch how well I get through life,
while you don’t even try to live.

I can’t give you your life
I can’t give you any more
you can’t stand what’s left of me
so let me be
now that I’m whole again

This is the last verse I’ll ever write for you,
and now you’ll never know how many there have been.
But please know that when I’m gone,
I’ll be inspired once again.



Take me home
