Counterpart

[Verse] Write these words down Because they might be the last that you hear from me Swore an oath for, for worse or for better But I’m left here writing in my death letter What a crippling thought to imagine it might never reach you Just know, though, I’m lost You’re my compass when I search for rescue [Chorus] We lost ourselves, caught in a tidal wave Searched every direction, but I found no one the same When you find yourself coming across a picture of us Tell me truthfully, was I your only one? Would you fall apart when you’d try To erase every moment lost in time? My love had a home in your heart And I’ll die knowing you were my counterpart [Refrain] I wanted to be the one to keep you warm when you were cold Watch our lives play out, but I will be gone while you grow old Grant me this last request before I meet the hands of death When I’m buried in the dirt, remember us for what it’s worth [Chorus] We lost ourselves caught it a tidal wave Searched every direction, but I found no one the same When you find yourself coming across a picture of us Tell me truthfully, was I your only one? Would you fall apart when you’d try To erase every moment lost in time? My love had a home in your heart And I’ll die knowing you were my counterpart My counterpart [Breakdown] You filled out my empty pieces All the parts that I lacked But I dragged you through hell and back My hands bruised and bloody before I had an epiphany That I couldn’t see, I was already in my tomb This might be the last time I will ever speak So listen to me, please [Outro] Would you fall apart when you’d try To erase every moment lost in time? My love had a home in your heart And I’ll die knowing you were my counterpart My counterpart, my counterpart
