Once my heart was huge
Now, it’s barely noticeable,
My songs were loud
But yet now they’re but echoes
Even whispers are louder.

Once, my love was undying
Yet now it fades away,
The more I love
The more I hurt
But what do I do to be happy
If my heart is but gone.

Oh, where is the warmth
The warmth I used to know,
Save my heart from this abyss
Lest I sink beyond my reach
I crave freedom
A freedom more precious than gold
Wherever it lies
Let it spring forth.

In my heart
I still wish to know love,
My guardian angel be present
Let this heart never grow cold
Lest I’m lost to humanity
Keep this heart of mine warm.
