and I Cbegged you to stand Gby me
even Fthough the burn was Cslow
I Gknew it would consume you
and I Fwatched you fight for your Clife
as the Gmagma killed our love
and I Fwatched the sadness Cin your eyes
as Glava slowly covered you

you were Fburned too badly Cto recover
as I so innoGcently hoCvered
