Lyrics
------

Breathe me in
Deep within

Torn
Disbelieving separation
I close my eyes
To see you

This is for you,
Everything I am
This is for you,
Take it from me

Torn
Disbelieving separation
I close my eyes
But there is no escaping this

This is for you,
Everything I am
This is for you,
Take it from me

In your arms
In your soul
I will be
Rejuvenation

Breathe me in
I'm forever
Deep within
I'm eternal

Breathe me in
I'm forever
Deep within
I'm eternal

I will return
To you

I am
With you
Always

I will
Never
Turn away
From you

Breathe me in
I am forever
Deep within
I am eternal

Breathe me in
I am forever
Deep within
I am eternal
