The Influence of Calliope, Erato & Euterpe

[Elessaria]

You're the bravest of hearts, you're the strongest of souls
You're my light in the dark, you're the place I call home
You can say it's all right, but I know that you're breaking up inside
I see it in your eyes
Even you face the night afraid and alone
That's why I'll be there

When the storm rises up, when the shadows descend
Every beat of my heart, every day without end
Every second I live, that's the promise I make
Baby, that's what I'll give, if that's what it takes
If that's what it takes

You can sleep in my arms, you don't have to explain
When your heart's crying out, baby, whisper my name
'Cause I've reached out for you when the thunder is crashing up above
You've given me your love
When you smile like the sun that shines through the pain
That's why I'll be there

When the storm rises up, when the shadows descend
Every beat of my heart, every day without end
I will stand like a rock, I will bend 'til I break
'Til there's no more to give, if that's what it takes
I will risk everything, I will fight, I will bleed
I will lay down my life, if that's what you need
Every second I live, that's the promise I make
Baby, that's what I'll give, if that's what it takes

Through the wind and the rain, through the smoke and the fire
When the fear rises up, when the wave's ever higher
I will lay down my heart, my body, my soul
I will hold on all night and never let go
Every second I live, that's the promise I make
Baby, that's what I'll give, if that's what it takes

If that's what it takes
Every day
If that's what it takes
Every day

[Elessaria]

Lost and all alone
I always thought that I could make it on my own
But since you left I hardly make it through the day
My tears get in the way
And I need you back to stay

I wander through the night
And search the world to find the words to make it right
All I want is just the way it used to be
With you here close to me
I've got to make you see

That I'm lost without your love
Life without you isn't worth the trouble of
And I'm as helpless as a ship without a wheel
A touch without a feel
I can't believe it's real
But someday soon I'll wake
And find my heart won't have to break

Yes, I'm lost without your love
Life without you isn't worth the trouble of
All I want is just the way it used to be
I need you here with me
Mon amour, can't you see
If we had love before
We can have it back once more

[Elessaria]

Strings in the evening wind are calling
Through the silence of the night
Memories like shadows falling
In the pale moonlight

Every note’s a whispered story
Of the love we used to know
In this quiet fading glory
Where do broken hearts go?

Time keeps moving like the tide
But my heart still stays with you
In this moment, side by side
Old dreams feel brand new

Strings in the evening wind
Play the song of what we’ve been
Every melody reminds me
Of the love that lives within
Though the seasons come and go
And the years may fade away
In my heart you’ll always know
You’re the music that will stay

Strings in the night air softly singing
Of the love we used to share
In the shadows, hearts still clinging
To the dreams still living there

Every note retells our story
From the years that passed us by
In the silence of our memory
Our love will never die

Time flows onward like the sea
But my heart remains the same
In this moment, you and me
Love will call your name

Strings in the night air
Play the song we made our own
Every melody remembers
All the love you’ve ever known
Though the seasons fade away
And the years drift far apart
In my soul you’ll always stay
You’re the rhythm of my heart

In the silence between heartbeats
I can hear your voice so near
Every string that softly repeats
Brings your memory here

Strings in the evening wind
Play the song of what we’ve been
Every melody reminds me
Of the love that lives within
Though the seasons come and go
And the years may fade away
In my heart you’ll always know
You’re the music that will stay

Strings in the evening wind
Whispering of love again
I love you, forever

-Dimitris Miller

[Elessaria]

Sometimes I remember reasons I let you go
Inside them I see your face and all I really know
I was scared to share the love I have inside of me
Through all the heartache I know that I was meant to be...

With you
I have everything I've ever wanted
Simple and true
With you
Crying eyes so beautiful
It's you who always thought our love would see us through

If I could follow my heart again it would be yours
With every breath I would find a way to love you more
I can't imagine life without your silent bravery
And I'm grateful for every moment that I get to be...

With you
I have everything I've ever wanted
Simple and true
With you
Loving eyes so beautiful
It's you who always finds a way

And if the stars should disappear
In the dark I'll still be here
Forever in your arms where I belong

With you
I have everything I've ever wanted
Simple and true
With you
Loving eyes so beautiful
It's you who always knew our love would see us through

It rolls in from the sea

My voice; a beacon in the night
My words will be your light
To carry you to me

Is love alive?
Is love alive?
Is love

They say that things just cannot grow
Beneath the winter snow
Or so I have been told

They say were buried far
Just like a distant star
I simply cannot hold

Is love alive?
Is love alive?
Is love alive?

This is my winter song
December never felt so wrong
'Cause you're not where you belong
Inside my arms

Bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum
Bum bum bum bum bum bum
Bum bum bum bum bum bum

I still believe in summer days
The seasons always change
And life will find a way

I'll be your harvester of light
And send it out tonight
So we can start again

Is love alive?
Is love alive?
Is love alive?

This is my winter song
December never felt so wrong
'Cause you're not where you belong
Inside my arms

This is my winter song to you
The storm is coming soon
It rolls in from the sea

My love a beacon in the night
My words will be your light
To carry you to me

Is love alive?
Is love alive?
Is love alive?
Is love alive?
Is love alive?

This is my winter song to you
The storm is coming soon
It rolls in from the sea

Is love alive?
Is love alive?
Is love alive?
Is love alive?
Is love alive?
Is love alive?
Is love alive?
Is love alive?
Is love alive?
Is love alive?
Is love alive?

The flowers in my hallway died two weeks ago
And just like you, I didn't have the heart to see them go
I know it sounds pathetic, I guess it kinda is
Emotions burn in different lights and that's just what it is

Oh, bless those friends givin' me sorries and sympathies
Know they're just tryin' to help
I see you in this house, the RhyDin streets, the stars, memories
Still had some stories to tell

They say time heals all wounds, is it ever enough?
I wanna learn how to cope, don't wanna learn how to love again
Oh, I've been tryin' to hold on, but I'm fallin' apart
Tell me, can you die from a broken heart?
Tell me, can you die from a broken heart?

I used to be the strong one, now this has got me broke
I want you in the present, not someone I used to know

Oh, bless those friends givin' me sorries and sympathies
I know they're just tryin' to help
I see you in my morning tea leaves, It's hard to drink tea now
It makes me bitter and sad

They say time heals all wounds, is it ever enough?
I wanna learn how to cope, don't wanna learn how to love again
Oh, I've been tryin' to hold on, but I'm fallin' apart
Tell me, can you die from a broken heart?
Tell me, can you die from a broken heart?

Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh (Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh)
Can you die from a broken heart?
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh (Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh)
Can you die from a broken heart?

Tell me, can you die from a broken heart?
Tell me, can you die from a broken heart?




-Nate Smith feat. Avril Lavigne (w/some tweaking by me)

How did I ever get to here
Why do I need you
Why do I have to cry these tears
Where do they lead to
I used to be so strong alone
When I was standing on my own
Now I don't know what to do
Was I too proud or just too blind
What does it matter
When love was in these hands of mine
I let it shatter
The pieces scattered to the wind
I'll never have them here again
But I'll remember how we were
The rest of time
[Chorus:]
You are my heart
How could I ever let you go
You are my soul
I had to lose my soul to know
How much you mean
To me, you are my heart
I think I see you everywhere
Isn't that crazy
I still reach out to feel you there
Lying beside me
I've learned a lot since you've been gone
About what I am and what I want
I know I only want to be in love with you
[Chorus]
There's the sun to light the day
My colors turned to gray
The day I saw you walk away
Now there's nothing left to say
But when I dream, I pray
That life could be like yesterday
[Chorus]
