My Achilles
You don't make it easy
But you won't have to beg me to stay
My summer sun-kissed love you have my heart
The poets will write that our love is a curse
And your mother's shadow will always hang over your nerves
So I'll brave her worst for you
Oh, I love you
Achilles, I love you
It's so good to say
'Cause before you I had nothing I cared if they'd take
Achilles, I need you
'Cause baby I breathe you
There's never a day
That you're gone and I'm not whispering your name
My Achilles
It'll never be easy
And "eternity" will never be enough
But I won't give up on you, Achilles
I won't give up
I don't miss the palaces, but I miss the privacy
I miss the nobodies that you and I used to be
Out in the rain
Now everybody, everywhere is screaming your name
Oh, I love you
Achilles, I love you
It's so good to say
And now that I have you
I've never been less afraid
Oh
Achilles, I need you
'Cause baby I breathe you
There's never a day
That you're gone and I'm not whispering your name
But fate is cruel and grief shoots blind
And I'll cling to you as I let go of life
But don't count me out, don't lay me down
Don't say goodbye
My Achilles, you will always be mine
Oh, I love you
Achilles, I love you
It's so good to finally say
'Cause without you
My whole world slipped away
Oh
Achilles, I need you
'Cause baby I breathe you
'Til you're the last breath that I take
Even in death
I'll be whispering your name
Somewhere in the past, a first kiss on the shore
And though I'm only mortal, I'll love you for evermore
My Achilles
You will always be sure
