Switch

by Bernadette   Aug 14, 2005


The burden of a broken heart is too heavy for me,
Even the weight of light brings me down,
Living without you would tear apart my soul,
You are the jewels that made my crown,
You are the light that opens my eyes,
You are everything I need so how do I say goodbye?

I lay this rose upon your cold and lifeless chest,
I keep my tears away and do not cry like the rest,
Your eyes are closed and they will not return,
Your eyes are the thing that made my heart burn.
You are the other half that helped me stand,
You are the one to live forever with I had planned.

You are the one, who fathered my child,
You are the one, who makes me feel wild,
You are not the one I want to lose,
So baby tell me how do I choose,
Do I turn the switch or do I leave you there,
I know the right decision if I really do care.

To turn you off like a broken toy,
It does not mean I do not love you boy,
I know to you it means I love your more,
You do not want to live a life that is sore,
You are the boy, who likes to run,
You are the boy, who made my life a little more fun.

I plead every day for you to wake and return,
I long, I need and I yearn,
Your brain is gone and you are never going to wake,
My favourite thing on earth god must take,
Baby as I turn this switch and say goodnight,
Some might not understand and say it is not right.

And to then I tell them your life,
And why you made me you wife,
I tell them it is what you wanted to do,
And that it is my burden to make it through,
And I tell them that you are waiting for me,
And that I would do the same and that is how they see.

They see that no matter what is thrown at you and me,
We are always together just how it is meant to be,
I love you low and I love you high,
That is why it is so hard to say goodbye,
And the words come out my mouth and the tears come out my eyes,
I see you leave your body and fly,

Yet you whisper one last thing in my ear,
You say you will wait for me you will be right here,
You say im sorry for leaving I hope its not to hard to make it through,
But you are the love of my life and I will always love you.
