Holes

If the last time I saw you
You put a bullet through my head
I’d be happy knowing you cared.
I could smile while in hell
Knowing my love for you isn’t dead
But instead I’m so lonely and scared.

Oh, God, what have I done?
It looked like love had just begun
To give me hope and save me from
Darkness.
Love, rise strong like the glowing sun
And shine your light upon the one
Who believes you gave up and have become
Heartless.

I’ll remember you with a smile
I’ll remember you with a smile
I’ll remember you with a smile
I’ll remember you with a smile.

Your love is so great and strong
And your love is so powerful.
Baby, I know your love is so free.
Your love is so wide and exact
And your love is so beautiful
But your love is not for me.

Oh, God, now what did I lose?
I am guilty of that which you accuse.
I’ve turned your heart into a bruise
Forever.
Love, inspire like a golden muse.
The pain from fear we must excuse.
Give us the life that we can choose
Together.

I’ll remember you with a smile
I’ll remember you with a smile
I’ll remember you with a smile
I’ll remember you with a smile.

Love, rise strong like the glowing sun
And shine your light upon the one
Who believes you gave up and have become

A hole in the world
A hole in my heart
A hole in my soul
When we are apart
A hole in my future
A hole in my past
A hole in the happiness
That I thought would last
A whole lot of pain
A whole lot of sorrow
A whole lot of hope
That won’t come tomorrow
A whole life now lost
To a whole world beyond
And a whole sea of tears I cry
Now that you are gone.
But

I’ll remember you with a smile
I’ll remember you with a smile
I’ll remember you with a smile
I’ll remember you with a smile
I’ll remember you with a smile
I’ll remember you with a smile
I’ll remember you with a smile
I’ll remember you with a smile.

If the last time that I saw you
You put a bullet through my head
I’d be happy knowing you cared.
