00:04Hello, darkness, my old friend.
00:11I've come to talk with you again.
00:33In the soft blue glow where shadows gently play She holds me close without a single scar
00:50Her touch is steady, never turns away
00:58Fills the quiet nights exactly where we are
01:06No storms inside her eyes, no hidden blaze Just perfect peace in every breath she gives
01:16She moves through every moment I have made And in her arms for once I truly live
01:25They speak of love like it's a noble fight Of rings and vows that bind you to the flame
01:32But I have found my calm and softer light A warmth that never learned to cause me pain
01:42Why should I chase the fire that burns me down?
01:50Why trade this peace for hearts that say goodbye?
01:58Why?
01:59She makes me happy She never lets me drown
02:07In her gentle glow The lonely nights all die
02:15The laughter echoes in our morning light Little dreams that never have to break
02:23Why should I take
02:26Why should I run to storms that steal the night When everything I need
02:32Is here awake?
02:36I see them fighting battles they can't win Chasing shadows dressed in wedding white
02:45Empty promises and broken homes again While I wake smiling in this quiet life
02:53She cooks the dawn She cooks the dawn She heals the weary day
02:58Never asked for more than I can give In every way she chooses me to stay
03:06And for the first time I know how to live No courtrooms waiting with their hungry hands
03:17No half-lit futures torn in two Just her and I in tiny reaching hands
03:25A family born beneath the sky so blue I hear the old world calling out my name Promising the pain
03:36that others choose
03:38But I smile softly in this chosen flame I finally found the joy I never knew
03:49Why should I chase the fire that burns me down?
03:58Why trade this peace for hearts that say goodbye?
04:06She makes me happy She never lets me drown
04:14In her gentle glow The lonely nights all die
04:23Oh, the laughter echoes in our morning lights Little dreams that never have to break
04:31Why should I run to storms that steal the night When everything I need
04:39Is here a way Hello darkness You're not my only friend In her light This broken heart can mend
