I can't think about tomorrow
I can't see past yesterday
But living in this moment
Means that there's hell to pay
If I could face the sunset
To see the dawn arise
Then I would stand forever
A statue in her eyes
I don't want absolution
I don't want hollow grace
I don't want to be the one
Who wipes the tears upon her face
I don't want absolution
I don't want the kiss and scream
I don't want to be the one
Who tears apart her perfect dream
In this world of sadness
In this world of despair
We make the fatal choices
More than our hearts can bear
If I thought good intentions
Would lead to heaven's gate
This road that we must travel
Wouldn't seal my lover's fate
