skin and bones

i used to dream about the heroes of stories, as life became an endless night, when hope was gone you resurrected my spirit, brought me from darkness into light, i can sense a storm is coming, anchoring you to me, far beneath my skin and bones, i harbor my divided soul, my greatest source of strength, might be my downfall, but love was not a choice for me, i held my breath and took a leap, and when i lose myself, you help me stand so tall, i listen closely and hear sweet strains of music, i'm captured in a reverie, through all these years you've been my quiet salvation, reflecting who i want to be, please for my sake no more talk of, blessings and curses tonight, far beneath my skin and bones, i harbor my divided soul, my greatest source of strength might be my downfall, but love was not a choice for me, i held my breath and took a leap, when i lose myself, you help me stand so tall, standing in silence we look out at the water, amazed how much the world has changed, i see behind your eyes such wisdom and sorrow, you're wondering if we're still the same, i felt more love than i could, give in just one lifetime, far beneath my skin and bones, i safekeep our united souls, my greatest source of strength was not my downfall, because love was not a choice for me, i held your hand and took a leap, i'll never lose myself, you help me stand so tall
