lyrics

In the middle of the forest
where I saved you from your death
your father tells me he no longer
holds interest in your life
I say I love you
in the darkness
and you will save me
from this darkness
I feel a chill caught in my bones
as I tell you to leave me

I WILL BE REBORN FOR YOU
SOUND OF RUSHING WATER
COMING THROUGH

I WILL BE REBORN FOR YOU
SOUND OF RUSHING WATER
COMING THROUGH

now you're gone
far from our home
and It cut like scissors
when I asked to be alone

BUT NOW YOURE GONE
YOURE FAR FROM HOME
AND IT CUT LIKE SCISSORS
WHEN I ASKED TO BE ALONE

You promised her
you'd stay with her forever
so now you gotta promise me
that you will stay with me forever
no matter how I've looked
and no matter how I've changed
no matter who I've killed
no matter who I left
no matter who I've loved
no matter who is left
you hide from people
and then you say
it's because
you look different
I must be the only human here
to know that you're a coward

I WILL BE REBORN FOR YOU
SOUND OF RUSHING WATER
COMING THROUGH

I WILL BE REBORN FOR YOU
SOUND OF RUSHING WATER
COMING THROUGH

BUT NOW YOURE GONE
YOURE FAR FROM HOME
AND IT CUT LIKE SCISSORS
WHEN I ASKED TO BE ALONE

BUT NOW YOURE GONE
YOURE FAR FROM HOME
AND IT CUT LIKE SCISSORS
WHEN I ASKED TO BE ALONE

he owes you nothing
I owed you nothing just the same
but you came in with that heart
and you looked at me like you knew I hadn't changed

he owes you nothing
I owed you nothing just the same
but you came in with that heart
and you looked at me like you knew I hadn't changed
