Sometimes love is a sad salvation You can't stay warm in its feeble glow Sometimes love is a sad salvation But it's the only love she knows
She smiles at the children selling candy on the street Remembers the good old days, a life so bittersweet Listens to the schoolgirls sing their songs a little louder And with the weight of the world she walks a little prouder He's waiting upstairs hasn't been out for a while She cried as she feeds him, she lives for his smile Speaks with his eyes, goodbye, they're saying They tremble inside, they can hear each other's heart breaking
Chorus
With tired eyes and a weary soul She stares at the past frozen on her wall Seems like a million years, feels like only yesterday That he lived in those eyes-now so far away She lays down beside him like she's done for years and years Kisses his face, so wet from her tears Will she wake up alone-she don't wanna go to sleep She curses life for giving herwhat it just can't let her keep
Chorus
Her hands start to tremble as she packs up his clothes Everything's got a story-now only she knows She sighs then she smiles, surprising herself Even through the hard times she could never love anybody else
