(Verse 1) I walk this silent path alone, a burdened soul with truths untold The weight upon my shoulders now, the secrets that I hold I've fought my way through hell and back, unbreakable and brave But there's a war inside my mind that I just cannot stave (Chorus) Oh Alyx, I wish I could tell you all the things that I have seen The knowledge of a thousand worlds, and places in-between But if I shared this troubled curse, would you still be by my side? I keep it locked inside my heart, a silence I must hide (Verse 2) I've faced the monsters in the dark, I've conquered fears unknown But deep within, the heaviest weight's the one I call my own The truest gift for one you love is sheltering their heart So I'll tuck this secret far away, and keep our lives apart (Chorus) Oh Alyx, I wish I could tell you all the things that I have seen The knowledge of a thousand worlds, and places in-between But if I shared this troubled curse, would you still be by my side? I keep it locked inside my heart, a silence I must hide (Bridge) Would you ever understand the battle that I fight? To keep you safe and sound at night, far from my painful plight I walk alone through endless pain, to spare you from my fate For every crossed dimension weighs, a love that heals but can't abate (Chorus) Oh Alyx, I wish I could tell you all the things that I have seen The knowledge of a thousand worlds, and places in-between But if I shared this troubled curse, would you still be by my side? I keep it locked inside my heart, a silence I must hide (Outro) So I'll bear this burden on my own, and keep you safe from harm And as I fight against the tide, I'll hold you in my arms For sometimes love is sacrifice, and shadows we must face But I'll protect you, Alyx dear, through all of time and space
