I see her face from that morning
and the tears that fall
I hear her crying out her troubles
I hear it all
Her eyes don't have the usual brightness
Her mouth doesn't have the usual smile
She has to make a decision now
To leave or be left behind
She wants to see something beautiful
Something to live for
And to die for
Something that will save her
Something that will end her plight
She wants to meet to meet someone special
Someone to say that it's all over
Someone to say it's just begun
A gun in one hand,
A rose in the other
Someone to fight,
Someone to love
So I went a little closer
I wanted to kiss her
And I wanted to slap her
I didn't know what to do
Because the truth is, I felt the same way too
I remembered what happened
As I drove back home
It reminded me of something important:
That I could live one more eternity
If I kept my eyes on the road
So I looked out the window
And crashed.

I like it. There's something so delicate about this and a sense of a heavy heart.
Beautiful yet sorrowful. I love how the whole thing "crashed" to a stop with the last line.
(Did I make any sense?)

Don't look ahead, just run to me
Each step will find the next one, recklessly
We'll find ourselves on the safest ledge
Well pardon me, I couldn't help myself

we were but stones, your light made us stars
she puts the weights into my little heart.
