I'll Say Hello

Outside these walls, a world I do not know
Within this skin, a fire I dare not show
When the lights go out, warm hearts shall glow
And as my shadow waves goodbye, to love I'll say hello
All I ask is for someone to call my own
When I'm grown so I'm not alone
Someone to kiss in a place like this
I'll call them bliss but when they're gone I'll miss them
I'll cry at night if they're not by my side
I've been scared and alone all my life
So please, bring her back to me
I need to see that today is not her D.O.D.
Let her breath be more than all that's left
But it seems this life of mine's bereft

I have lost all that I once had
Once iron clad, but rose has fallen from my hand
Dropped on her grave, next to her name
On stone it has been engraved
How can I ever live again, I've lost my friend
She loved me until the very end
Now I say, my world has gone grey
Who brought on this foul play?
Why'd you close her eyes for the very last time
Why did you take all that was mine

All that I have now is this room full of clouds
And a fire in my heart that won't go out
An empty chair sitting over there
An empty spot at which I stare
I promised from now on to never leave her side
So here I sit and hide taking every day in stride

Outside these walls, a world I cannot know
Within this skin, a fire I cannot show
When my lights go out, our warm hearts shall glow
And as my shadow waves goodbye, to my love I'll say hello

This is not the end
I will not say goodbye
To my only friend
I'd rather lay and die

As this conscientiousness slowly fades
I make my way back from whence I came
To the one I've loved you will be missed
You were the only one worth the risk

And as my shadow waves goodbye
To my love I'll say hello
Before now you were my life
But when you died you took my soul


I like what you wrote and was inspired to write this.

I like how you use the theme of death and grief in a creative way. I enjoyed reading your lyrics. The first four lines are great, especially the fourth line; "And as my shadow waves goodbye, to love I'll say hello"; and they set the right tone.
