Before the Final Cut

As I unconsciously smile when I think of you
Forgiving the sorrow, and forgiving the pain
With you I could finally be the who that I am
You were a moment when I could be true
Before my life went beyond being saved
The grave is waiting, I am the damned
So why do I hesitate, as my life decays
You spoke to me in so many ways
Allowed me to live, not just delay
Before the moment
Of the final cut
Before the time
I had more than I could take
In this life, there's only been you
Reality has gone into fade
My eyes are swollen, my lips are blue
I've nothing left, but memories
Reality is harsh, eternity a mystery
But you helped me escape the misery
So thank you, and farewell
My only love
