just for tonight

just for tonight lay here with me
and forget everything that lies beyond us
for what we have is to be lived for
before our heaven's impending expiration

there's nothing to stop the agony
no magic pills just amphetamines
how could I have an answer
when you say that you may take your life?

and if it's cancer
and it starts eating you from the inside
I don't have an answer
but I will hold you until you reach the other side

I don't know why this happens
when you were just starting to figure out
everything you found a reason to doubt
but this won't be the end

for what it's worth
I would gladly accept a single moment of you
I'd sleep beside you in your tomb
just to hope for you to haunt me

I cannot dare to imagine
to think I'll never feel you wrapped around me
or testaments of love rasped between ears
I've spilled my guts to the floor

and if it's cancer
and it starts eating you from the inside
I don't have an answer
but I will hold you until you reach the other side

I don't know why this happens
when you were just starting to figure out
everything you found a reason to doubt
but this won't be the end

because it's cancer
and now I'm eaten with it too
with the memory of you and I together
and I'll carry you with me even when it's over

my love
