Fragments of Life - Temperance

Awakened by this tempest

I can see your eyes in the shade

And it feels so safe here

Hold me tight so that I can feel

Your heartbeat

Why can’t we just lay down

Whispering love songs with no sound?

But there’s always something

Keeping you and me far apart

And I would erase

Any distance between us

And I love you so that I hate you every time that you leave

It is hard to handle this affliction so bittersweet

Because when you hug me there’s no space and there is no time

Happiness is for real only in those fragments of life

Hold me close to your heart

Letting all the seasons pass by

But in time I will get used

I’m learning to love you from afar

But I still can’t stand

Any distance between us

And I love you so that I hate you every time that you leave

It is hard to handle this affliction so bittersweet

When we separate I feel broken

Just another taste and then go

You are everything that I dream for

You remind me I’m alive

And I love you so that I hate you every time that you leave

It is hard to handle this affliction so bittersweet

Because when you hug me there’s no space and there is no time

Happiness is for real only in those fragments of life
