Raphael

Please don’t try to change my mind, your struggling makes me weak
They’re taking you away from me, you cannot even speak

Now my body feels so empty and so cold
They told me “kill what’s killing you”, but now I’m all alone

I fell in love with a promise, a shell of what you could be
In another life,
I will hold you
Raphael, don’t you cry for me
I will sing to you someday

The world will hold my trial for your sins
Never meant to see the sky, never meant to live

God, please promise me that I won’t go to hell
They broke into my fragile heart, they’ve taken Raphael

I fell in love with a promise, a shell of what you could be
In another life,
I will hold you
Raphael, don’t you cry for me
I will sing to you someday

In another time, in another life
Maybe I could love you, Raphael
There will be no funeral for a boy that no one ever knew
But I’ll still kiss your coffin, Raphael
In another time, in another life
Maybe I could love you, Raphael

In another time, in another life
Maybe I could love you, Raphael
There will be no funeral for a boy that no one ever knew
But I’ll still kiss your coffin, Raphael
