All my wings are
Charred and scorched
Are shred to bone
Melted wax and melted glass
Sand in hourglasses emptied
Shattered spaces in my lungs

Like a dead star
No matter how far
You reach out
I learned that no one's ever there
Made from nothing, held by nothing
We return right to the start

Maybe there's no point to craving reason
And maybe there's no point behind the starlight in my eyes
Maybe there's no point to all your treason
And maybe all of this is a love letter to the wise

But this is love
Held close to your chest, oh, this is love
And though my heartbeat rests
Still, this is love
And I've never wanted anything more

Cause this is love
A thousand times I'd fall just for this love
It's either none at all or just this love
Let me breathe my last on your shore

Like a dead star
No matter how far
I throw myself
I learned that lies were standing there
Arms outstretched, waiting and ready
There to catch me
Right when I fall

Maybe there's no point to craving reason
And maybe there's no point behind the starlight in my eyes
The only thing I got from them was treason
So maybe all of this is just miswritten lullabies

But this is love
I'd bare all of my flaws right for this love
I'd break open and raw just for this love
And I'd gladly give up more on your call

Cause this is love
I'd stumble and I'd crawl just for this love
It's either none at all or just this love
I know you're always there for it all

There's a painful sweetness in yearning for something you're never supposed to have
You're not for it
And you sure as hell would never deserve it
Trying to catch it with the tips of your fingers as it starts and reaches back

Baby, I'd run to you

Cause this is love
Even death won't be enough to break this love
I'd take rose-colored oblivion for this love
Cause it's all I've ever wanted and more

And it's our love
And I could be sick with fear, but this is love
And I'd rather have you near, my dear, my love
Let me breathe my last on your shore

This is the love
That the poetry that's etched in stars above
And the ink between the pages you so love
Try to catch and never come close

This is the love
We write with every breath and step and shove
With every space that fits just right, oh love
And I've been through hell but I know that this is love
