Her presence calming, confidence is rising.
Hearing her spoken words, every one deep in meaning.
She's gone to depths, I couldn't begin to imagine.
Keep asking myself how any of this could happen.
And when she smiles, I see the happiness covered up by all the pain.
Her absence is numbing and it's driving me insane.
A subtle passing of words, to turn this all around.
The most beautiful fucking tragedy I've accidentally found.

She's in love with something else, deeper than love could ever go.
With every draw of that hammer she is selling off her soul.
I want to save her from herself and hold on to her so tight.
Comfort her from the terrors when she's trembling in the night.
There's only two amounts of drugs in this world, not enough and way too much.
Maybe we choose to move away from each other and fall out of touch.
How nice, to feel nothing and still get full credit for being alive.
Appearing strong on the outside, burning down to ashes inside.
They think the drugs cause the distance, maybe the distance is wanted.
Bad memories and regretful mistakes, the past is darkly haunted.
She's falling, farther and farther, to fast to grab a hold.
I'd tell her the truth but that would be worth more than gold.
A cold shoulder if I told her something unwanted, but painfully real.
Tell her she needs to kick the habit and learn how to deal.
Until her head is clear, I'm not going to take a leap.
This intense passion for her, more intense than heroin,
    This secret I will keep.
