I forget what you said
On the day of the dead
The last time I saw you alive
But I remember the way
You left me that day
So sure you’d be the one who’d survive

But how long can a heart
Beat on its own
Without love, always starved
From being alone?
All the life we thought we knew is gone

All the life that we shared
All the love that we dared
Disappeared with you when you slipped away
When the words in my head
Weren’t the words that I said
Oh! I loved you more than ever I could say

How long can a heart
Beat on its own
Without love, always starved
From being alone?
All the life we thought we knew is gone

Under the volcano
The days pass so slow
Sitting here for a year since you fled
So anxious to see
If you’ll come back to me
On this the next day of the dead

For how long can a heart
Beat on its own
Without love, always starved
From being alone?
All the life we thought we knew is gone
