Even though we weren't meant to meet and come together this way
And that made it all that harder for me to let you stay
I hope that you understand where I was coming from one day
That I never meant to hurt you, never wanted to leave you astray
You're the closest that I had compared to heaven
Wish that I could hold you in my arms forever
You were my ray of sun shining from behind the grey
The purity held in your heart, it's the message you're here to convey
I wish that I were a painter, put your essence on display
And although I had to let go, part of me wished you could stay
You're the closest that I had compared to heaven
Wish that I could hold you in my arms forever
Fill me with your love, I will give your heart shelter
You're the closest that I had compared to heaven
