Edén

How can I want something
That I don’t even know yet, if I want to have it
I wake up thinking about what could have been and wasn’t

But what could have been real

I don’t know, but when I see you
I think maybe we just needed more time
You leave, stay, for you to fuel the fire
And I became the shadow of the wind

Now that I don’t have you, I realize that without you I’m dying
Now that I’ve lost you, I realize that without you I’m empty
Now that you’ve made your mark, and kissing your lips is a sin for me
Now I feel the cold, I’ve realized when I’ve lost you

Your memory stays with me and your shadow won’t go away
And the space in the bed reminds me that you’re not here
Don’t lie to me with your mouth, what your eyes can see
That this heart is yours, even if you want to break it

And I spend hours thinking that life goes by
And I don’t take the step
I wish I could go find you, but pride has me tied down
I can’t change, nor erase the mistakes I made in the past
I bit the forbidden apple and now I’m banished from Eden

Now that I don’t have you, I realize that without you I’m dying
Now that I’ve lost you, I realize that without you I’m empty
Now that you’ve made your mark, and kissing your lips is a sin for me
Now I feel the cold, I’ve realized when I’ve lost you

Life is slipping away and I think I’ve wasted time
Trying to change the things of yesterday
Because if I’ve learned anything in this life
It’s that we are what we do, not what we say we are

Neither you for me, nor I for you, now what are you going to say
If like the wind you slipped through my hands
If like the air I breathe, I miss you
You don’t know what I would give to have you here

How can I want something
That I don’t even know yet, if I want to have it
I wake up thinking about what could have been and wasn’t
But what could have been real

I don’t know, but when I see you
I think maybe we just needed more time
You leave, stay, for you to fuel the fire
And I became the shadow of the wind

Now that I don’t have you, I realize that without you I’m dying
Now that I’ve lost you, I realize that without you I’m empty
Now that you’ve made your mark, and kissing your lips is a sin for me
Now I feel the cold, I’ve realized when I’ve lost you

Life is the consequence of the decisions we make
But it’s never too late to find the way
And don’t be worth less.
