Lyrics
She's fragile and slender and fading fast
Describes a woman who is delicate, slim, and deteriorating quickly.
So in a voice so tender she asks if I could lend her a helping hand,
She asks for help in a gentle manner, hoping for assistance.
A hand that would end her strife
She desires a helping hand to end her struggles.
"Love is only for poets & dreams are for fools
Love is perceived as something only for creative individuals, while dreams are considered foolish.
And on all beauty you'll find time's always cruel
Time's cruelty affects all beauty, indicating that everything beautiful fades or deteriorates with time.
If you see what I see, then say after me
Asking the listener to confirm understanding and commitment to facing fears and complying with her request.
I'll fight my firight & do as you ask tonight"
Expressing willingness to overcome fear and fulfill her request.
Ever since my heart chose to choose her,
Since committing to her, acknowledging the inevitability of losing her.
I've known I would lose her
Accepts the forthcoming loss but forgives her because he cannot deny her anything.
But I will excuse her, I could never refuse her anything
Unwilling to deny her anything due to deep affection, despite knowing the eventual loss.
Cause I'm not a poet, no I'm just a fool
Recognizing himself as not a creative person but willing to be foolish for her.
And the beauty she speaks of keeps her as the exception to the rule
Considers her exceptional beauty an exemption from the general rule of beauty fading.
But I see what I see, so I know what it'll be
Confirms understanding of the situation and the probable outcome.
I'll fight my fright and I'll do as she's asked me to do tonight
Willing to confront fear and comply with her request.
All will be forgiven
Expresses a willingness to forgive despite being hurt by love.
It's from love that I've been driven
Feeling pushed away from love due to the pain experienced.
And time will skip a moment where it's perfect
Believes there will be a moment of perfection in time, despite the imperfections of the situation.
And I'll kiss her lips as she slips away
Imagines a poignant moment of kissing her goodbye as she leaves.
You said you'd die for me
Questioning why the person can claim willingness to die for love but not live for the relationship.
You said you'd die for me
-So why can't you live for me
-Why won't you live for me
Expresses frustration or confusion about the lack of commitment to the relationship.
