I danced with fate...

Here I am, look, I'm standing up, nearly straight and almost proud.
Break me down again, look at me, I deserve it.
I danced with fate with one heart,
while my other lay faithfully in the locket I gave you.

She, she stole my heart, she...
She took what is rightfully yours.
I, I let her, as we danced.

Keep a tight hold of the heart of mine,
the one you keep.
The one I hear you whisper to,
late at night, when I should be sleeping.

I can't sleep, though, not without you,
I need you beside me, so I know you're safe,
I need you here, so I know you're happy,
so I can see you smile...

I know you don't mean to lie,
but it's hard to see your smile,
when there's so much darkness.
It's your thing, I know,
you love the darkness in you,
I'll be honest, I love it too,
because it's part of you
and you are part of me.

You're deep in the place where my heart was, once,
the heart I sent over to your custody,
so they don't break it again.
I trust you in every way possible,
even the darkness in your beautiful soul.
It's comforting to me, you know?

The little part of you, where I can hide,
where I can be myself, free from prying eyes,
free from the scrutinous gaze of those who...
Those who claim to love me, too.

You know who I really am, my love,
you've seen every little part of me.
The worst and then the best.

And the darkness, where I can hide,
I love it, like I love you,
because in the end, it's part of you.

I know it's repetative,
I know I say it a lot,
but I really mean it, you know?
I love you.

I wish for my life to be beside you,
I want to live with you at my side.
Country or city, or even by the sea.
I want to do everything with you,
coffee, tv, alcohol and sex,
the things couples do.

If you even wished it so,
I'd marry you.

But, I danced with fate,
her name was darkness.
I fell in love with her,
to realise that she is you,
as much as you are her.

If you even wished it so,
I'd marry you.
