Hold on to me love.
You know I can't stay long.
All I wanted to say was I love you, and I'm not afraid.
Can you hear me?
Can you feel me in your arms?
(Chorus)
Holding my last breath.
Safe inside myself
Are all my thoughts of you.
Sweet raptured light.
It ends here tonight.
I'll miss the winter.
A world of fragile things.
Look for me in the white forest
Hiding in a hollow tree (Come find me)
I know you hear me.
I can taste it in your tears!
(Chorus)
Holding my last breath.
Safe inside myself
Are all my thoughts of you.
Sweet raptured light.
It ends here tonight.
Closing your eyes to disappear
You pray your dreams will leave you here,
But still you wake, and know the truth.
No one's there.
Say goodnight.
Don't be afraid.
Calling me, holding me as you fade to black. (x2)
(Chorus)
Holding my last breath.
Safe inside myself
Are all my thoughts of you.
Sweet raptured light.
It ends here tonight.
(Holding my last breath.
Safe inside myself
Are all my thoughts of you.
Sweet raptured light.
It ends here tonight.)
if you read the book "I heart you, you haunt me" by Lisa Schroeder, it brings a whole new understanding to this song. in the story this girl looses her boyfriend who had made a promise to always stay with her and he ends up being a ghost, and he plays this song during the book. very good song though, i really like evanescence, and especially amy lee, she's so amazing.
i think that this song is about suicide. it means that she isnt afraid to die because she knows that somehow and somewhere she will meet her lover again. She doesn't regret her decision to kill herself because after all the mistakes she has made with him. hes crying as she "fades to black" because he is afraid to lose her.
