lyrics
Say it's not true, I'm begging of you
He's not supposed to be on his own
Say it ain't so, he loved her ya know
When they kissed he would swear it was grace
Now he fights for each breath that he takes
Are we really alive if we're dying inside
How can something so wrong be made right
Well I heard you once say that it would all be okay
But the only thing that I feel is pain
Oh my God, please don't leave things this way
In a place of brightness, with the saints all before her
Where tragedies drown in the infinite chorus
Of drinking and laughing and of dreaming like children
May she open her eyes where the music's more beautiful
Where the music's more beautiful
Where the air's not so heavy, for the wind blows inside her
And the sails of her soul finally reach the horizon
Oh God in your mercy remember your kindness
Give rest to the soul of the girl that you love
Give rest to the soul of the girl that he loved
Once Mary cried out with her son in the ground
And she held the pain close to her heart
As her tears fell like rain from the clouds
Until the sadness was finally drowned
In a place of brightness, where she won't be forgotten
Where sorrows are leaves in the breezes of autumn
On streets paved with sunlight as the waves crash behind her
May she open her eyes where the music's more beautiful
Where the music's more beautiful
Where the songs all come easy, for the melody finds her
Until we all meet again, as if never we parted
Oh God in your mercy remember your kindness
Give rest to the soul of the girl that you love
Give rest to the soul of the girl that he loved
Give rest to the soul of the boy that she left
