Souvenir (Stripped)

I keep hearing them say, it all goes away
I wonder why, I wonder why
Please can I keep the love that I seek
After time, after time?
Empty handed, why go empty out into the dark?
And you're my brightness

I won't take it, this tearing apart
Oh my, after this life
I'll take a souvenir just before leaving here
Oh my, everything's white

Stay close, my souvenir, you're coming with me there
You're coming with me there
I know I'll find a way as my heart turns to grey
To keep you mine, keep you mine

I know I never said, but I'm scared of the end
I wonder why, I wonder why
Empty handed, why leave everything you love behind?
Slight of handed

I will find a way out from inside
Oh my, after this life
I'll take a souvenir just before leaving here
Oh my, everything's white

Stay close, my souvenir, you're coming with me there
Death is more like a figure of eight
And I'll be back before it gets too late
I can see by the look on your face
That you just don't believe what I say

Would you please just believe what I say?
Oh my, after this life
I'll take a souvenir just before leaving here
Oh my, everything's white
Stay close, my souvenir, you're coming with me there
Oh my, after this life

I'll take a souvenir just before leaving here
Oh my, everything's white
My one and only dear, you're coming with me there
You're coming with me there
Stay close, my souvenir
