Satisfied

In my darkest and hardest sunset, I found a sunrise
But now I can only hope it never dies
Young love is such a shame though
For it endures every fatal and toxic blow
But even still, I would run with you
I would risk my soul just for another moment
Even still, I would call you true
But don't tell me I'm foolish, because I already know it
So love, save me from my dance with death
And maybe you'll find that your heart isn't such a mess

If only, if only, I wasn't so lonely
My heart would take mercy on you
If only, if only, I wasn't so empty
But still I fight for a cause noble and true

I melted in the heat of the moment and burned the candle too thin
With your eyes like diamonds but still etched with sin
Your delicate touch was haunting
As it should be, but now grows daunting
I fell so feeble and helpless
Yet you illuminated my soul and vanquished the darkness
Do I sound like a child?
But you can't tell me that love is mild

If only, if only, I wasn't so lonely
My heart would take mercy on you
If only, if only, I wasn't so empty
But still I fight for a cause noble and true

You make your way into my brain like poison through my veins
And now I'm forever drunk
Drunk on this freedom
Drunk on this feeling, which I pray isn't fleeting
Yet for you, I still feel somber
Forever afraid of fading with the embers
Yet somehow, I am content
Maybe I could get used to this
But only with your consent
May I lead myself into the shadowy mist
Around me and enveloping me
And I realize that it's true
The reason, the feeling, the happy
It is you, only you

If only, if only, I wasn't so lonely
My heart would take mercy on you
If only, if only, I wasn't so empty
But still I fight for a cause noble and true

Even though I am broken and bitter
I am satisfied
You leave completely and utterly blissful;
Gratified
Making my way without a scratch through these aching thistles
I am satisfied
I am haunted, and I will vow to make you feel wanted
If only, if only, my heart wasn't your captor
If only, if only, I was maybe better
But still
You are a sight so beautiful
And I am satisfied
Forever satisfied
