[Helen...]

And you said it would be funny to keep me hanging in suspense
Then I'd run over to your house and I'd scale the chain link fence
That borders your backyard and then I'd climb through your window
And I'd whisper that I love you as you fall out of your clothes

And we'd lay there in the darkness like the dream of you I had
Where we captured all the fireflies and knew what time we had
Could be counted on our fingertips
That almost made you cry
You let me hold you tightly as we said all our goodbyes and

May I say I loved you more?
May I say I loved you more?

And it must have been an hour that I clutched you in my arms
And I must have said the right things because you instantly felt warm
And you heard my heart stop beating andyou wanted not to cry
As your sympathetic whispers, they told a tale of bad goodbyes

And you swore you saw me laughing and I swore I saw you smile
And this time we've spent together is meant to last us quite a while
As I take this piece of you with me I'll carry to my grave
Knowing that for someone you're an angel sent to save

(Keep breathing, my angel)
May I say I loved you more?
(If you go down, I go with you)
(Keep breathing, just keep breathing)

(Keep breathing, my angel)
May I say I loved you more?
(If you go down, I go with you)
(Keep breathing, just keep breathing)

Let's drink to memories we shared
Down one to all the hopes and cares
Here's two for being unaware that you're gone
Because before too long you'll be a memory

(Let's drink to memories we shared)
Before too long you'll be a memory.
(Down one to all the hopes and cares)
Because before too long you'll be a memory.
(Here's two for being unaware)
I said before too long you'll be a memory.
(that you're gone, you're gone)
I said before too long you'll be a memory.
