Lyric

A tower of steel, where hearts were erased

We were just cogs in a desolate place

Your oversized shirt, the heat of the stove

I finally learned the true meaning of love

Beyond the blast doors, tracking our prey

I didn't want tomorrow, I wanted today

The vanilla scent, a prayer in the dark

Melting the ice that surrounded my heart

"I love you," I said it with clumsy grace

You gave me the real world, a beautiful place

Through blood-tinted glass, my very last sight

Was your tear-filled eyes in the fading light

Thank you for finding me in the night

The hounds of the future are rushing the gate

But I will not yield, I welcome my fate

Stripping away every rule that I knew

Standing right here as a woman for you

The golden dust scatters up into the sky

Please let me be selfish this one last time

I'll be your shield, I'll stand in the fire

To send you to safety is my sole desire

"I love you," I said it with clumsy grace

You gave me the real world, a beautiful place

As the tower collapsed in a blinding white glow

You have to go back to the world that we know

Though I wanted to stay, I had to let go

I force down the capsule and lock up the door

Please live for us both, I can't ask for more

When the cherry blossoms fall in the spring

Pretend you don't know me, and let your heart sing

"I love you," I said it with clumsy grace

You gave me the real world, a beautiful place

Through blood-tinted glass, my very last sight

Was your tear-filled eyes in the fading light

Thank you for finding me in the night

Go back to the real world, my love, don't you cry

I'll be watching you always, from the stars in the sky
