Elissa

talking back from frozen moments
the aching words I never spoke
alone now in this cold abstraction
the sounds of yesterday transpose
and every pause within my conscience
I sadly offer up to you
I have to go before I falter
before my longing skews the truth

and as I push against the waves
know my heart is broken too
and though I travel far away
part of me is still with you

And if it was my choice to make
Elissa- I would stay with you
but tomorrow isn't mine to give
and there's something I must do
And if it was my life to live
Elissa- I would never leave
I made a promise long ago
and now you must believe-
however far i travel...
I can only love you more...
I can only love you more...

I see your shadow like a ghost
silent and away
apologies make emptiness
the things I want to say
and this guilt it must be but mine alone
fearing the distant glow
broken to a choice unmade
though I want you, though I need you (by my side...)

and as I push against the waves
know my heart is broken too
and though I travel far away
part of me is still with you

And if it was my choice to make
Elissa- I would stay with you
but tomorrow isn't mine to give
and there's something yet to do
And if it was my life to live
Elissa- I would never leave
I made a promise long ago
and now you must believe-
that whatever course life takes...
I can only love you more...
I can only love you more...
