How'd This Come to Be

Every step that I take, every corner I look upon

Is another way for me to lose myself in—?

And what I try to say to you, always lost for words,

I don’t think I’ll ever be the same without you.

How’d this come to be! I just don’t understand!

Even though I knew, I’m lost again—

So please just stay here, by me, for these last few moments

Before... I’m lost to a parallel world.

The worst is waiting for me, but I’m prepared

I’ve battled worst, when with you, I’m not afraid—

But what I am afraid of, the one thing that I fear

Is losing you – Please don’t disappear!

How’d this come to be! I just don’t understand!

Even though I knew, I’m lost again—

So please just stay here, by me, for these last few moments

Before... I’m lost to this parallel world!

Please don’t think this is the end!

I never would try to make you feel this way—

But until then please just stay here

Here by me... for these last few moments in time.

Because I don’t know how this came to be!

What is missing for eternity! And how to save it—

So I’m asking you Doctor... please stay here with me...

For these last few moments... Until I’m lost to this parallel world.
