I Don't Want You to Forget

The touch of lips the close of eyes
 They matter more than you surmise
 I hide it all in secret boxes
 Until tomorrow when we first meet
 I watch you fade before my eyes
 I can't take it, but I won't look away
 Maybe the fires that feel so cold,
 They won't completely die away
 I don't want to, I don't want you
 I don't want to, I don't want you
 I may not let you see my pain
 I may not speak hard words in anger
 To you maybe it isn't really strange
 You being loved by a stranger
 I won't give you up just yet
 I will come calling at your door
 Ours is a home we can't get to anymore
 I don't want to, I don't want you
 I don't want to, I don't want you
 Behind your eyes there is a distance
 I ask you if you'd like to dance
 You mistake me for a healer
 I'm just a desperate man stealing one last chance
