You lived your life like you were on fire
But how could I dance when your soul just lifted me
Higher and higher and higher
Paint bleeds, ink runs, image of your love
Your memory, our history
(Why did you have to go?)

I'd give up my eyes, to see you one last time
And I'd give all my fingertips to touch you
And I could paint you picture perfect
Even if I were blinded
But you have to die for me to see how to live

(For me to see how, for me to see how oh, for me to see how, for me to see how oh)

I live my life hiding in shadows but now
I can see 'cause your soul is lifting me
Higher and higher and higher
Paint bleeds I can't breathe, need you here with me
Close my eyes I can feel you close
Why did you have to go?

I'd give up my eyes, to see you one last time
And I'd give all my fingertips to touch you
And I could paint you picture perfect
Even if I were blinded
But you have to die
For me to see how to live

Angels fall, it's not your fault
Time goes on without you (without you)
Goodbye old friend, we'll meet again
Life goes on without you

(Why did you have to go?)

I'd give up my eyes, to see you one last time
And I'd give all my fingertips to touch you
And I could paint you picture perfect
Even if I were blinded
But you have to die for me to see how to live

(For me to see how, for me to see how oh, for me to see how, for me to see how oh)
(For me to see how, for me to see how to live, for me to see how, for me to see how, oh)
