Never Tear Us Apart

Track 2: INXS "Never Tear Us Apart"

Don't ask me
What you know is true
Don't have to tell you
I love your precious heart

I
I was standing
You were there
Two worlds collided
And they could never tear us apart

We could live
For a thousand years
But if I hurt you
I'd make wine from your tears

I told you
That we could fly
'Cause we all have wings
But some of us don't know why

I
I was standing
You were there
Two worlds collided
And they could never ever tear us apart

I'll never forget the moment I met Bill. Most people wouldn't get our sense of humor, but let's just say our first meeting ended up with Bill putting me in a headlock. It didn't take long for me to recognize what a precious heart he had. His capacity for love was immense. His love for his close friends was obvious, pure, and unbreakable. 

Our world's collided the moment we met. And our worlds continued to collide as our love grew. When we finally were in the same city our worlds became one with such ease. Nothing and no one could ever tear us apart. He had my back no matter what and I would fight to the death to protect his precious heart. 

He never hurt me until he left. It wasn't his fault, but his absence hurts more than any pain I've ever known. I've cried enough tears to fill thousands of boxes of wine and his Bill Miller's mug would never run dry. 

Our world's still collide. It's the little things that knock the breath out of me. When I first returned home seeing groceries we shopped for together in the refrigerator was like finding him all over again. The records we bought a few days before he died still sit in the plastic packaging and it stabs me in the heart. 

And though we a separated by time and space, they could never tear us apart.
