Lyrics
She came into my life like the mornings bright light I was spending most of my life dancing in the night She took off my sunglasses and showed me how to see And who I could be Not taking no for an answer, she was strong and true She flew across the ocean to the Red, White, and Blue She taught me how to love, thought I already knew But then something felt new Take a look at my life, tell me what you see Just when I thought I was safe from harm, she flipped the switch inside of me So I flew across the ocean to see what it means To love unconditionally But when I stepped outside, the morning was gone I tried my best to fight it but she had withdrawn And we had switched our places in all irony And she could not see me She She breaths fire Like the Sun And now I I'm on fire But on my own I gave her everything I had My world, My home My veins are empty, my breath is airless But still she's gone So the chapter closes, romance over seas Though I know it was worth the effort, there are no guarantees Still I'm forever grateful for what she showed to me That love is not free
