He stormed the gates at morning
He was inside by evening
A ragged man in ragged clothes
The only love I'd ever known
Too sad to live, too proud to die
Hold my hand tell me why
A thousand blades of envy green keeping you from my side

Without you here
I need you to know that you are the missing piece of my soul
Without you here
I need you to know that you are the missing piece of my soul

The sun taunts my tongue
The wind in my hair

Soon they will find me there
I'm never going to leave your side and
When the groundskeeper comes let him find
My lifeless body by your stone
I don't care now, I'm crawling home
To the only love my heart has ever known

Without you here
I need you to know that you are the missing piece of my soul
Without you here
I need you to know that you are the missing piece of my soul

It's too late now, no turning back
I make the cut
I do it fast
So this is what it's like to die again beneath a laughing sky
Then I look up to see your smiling face it's over now
We're in another place
This life was merely a bad dream
Reality is eternity

Without you here
I need you to know that you are the missing piece of my soul
Without you here
I need you to know that you are the missing piece of my soul
