The Last Three Letters Lyrics - On Frail Wings Of Vanity And Wax - Alesana

Dearest love 

I hope this message finds you well 

As these endless thoughts drip from my soul 

Every single word secretly paints a fairytale 

Of when we will melt into one 

Eyes forfeit sight to the pain 

Cold scalpel's steel whispers tear at my very core 

As I cling to my memories of you 

I am so scared, so scared, I need you with me 

Were the last words 

That I wrote for you enough to tell you 

That in my death the light that shone 

Through my painful darkness 

Was a blinding vision of your eternal smile? 

It's me again 

Is it me or am I wrong to be concerned? 

Will the beauty of your pen 

Ever cross my eyes again? 

Was this all a lie? Why? 

Were the last words 

That I wrote for you enough to tell you 

That in my death the light that shone 

Through my painful darkness 

Was a blinding vision of your eternal smile? 

Make it stop 

Make this pounding in my head stop 

Fill my lungs with air, give me one more day 

To make her dreams come true 

She understands right? 

That I'm not coming back 

She understands right? 

That I'm not coming back 

Make it stop, make the pounding stop 

I'm not coming back 

I'm not coming back 

I'm not coming back 

I don't know what happened 

Who would have thought 

My life would end up like this? 

I never even got the chance 

To see her face or to touch her hair 

And now it's too late 

I didn't mean to hurt her 

Not hurt her like this 

I can't feel my legs 

I can't feel my legs 

And I can't even cry 

How could someone die like this? 

Who would have thought 

My life would end up like this 

If my words ever reach you 

I'll assume you don't care 

Never knew that silence could cut 

So deep or that you could twist the blade 

Now I curse all of your beautiful lies 

I love you and goodbye 

Were the last words 

That I wrote for you enough to tell you 

That in my death the light that shone 

Through my painful darkness 

Was a blinding vision of your eternal smile? 

Cold scalpel's steel 

Whispers tear at my very core 

As I cling to my memories of you
