stay (phoenix)

I heard you, I ignored it
I hurt you, I admit it
I know I did as it seemed fit
To make you feel what I did

That’s bullshit and I’m sorry
That’s so far from the story
The real one that my heart has
Come to want to share at last
Again

The truth is I understand it all
My soul’s always understood
What were the forces down below
That made you scream, and go
And of course I forgive you
(Forgive, accept, embrace, I do)
And the same applies to me,
For falling in so very deep
And insufferably passionately
That the only reasonable feast
Seemed to be to liberate the beast
And let it devour us in a moment’s
Worth of smashing our sacred mirror

It was an error baby, as I can still see
The two of us reflected until infinity
In the thousand broken pieces. Now
All there is –here-, is not going away,
My dear, and all it is I have to say:
My love for you will stay, my love,
My love for you is here.
