Lyrics of 'Heartache / Asgore' by KHTLL13

Fight or run away; safer if you stay
I’m protecting you; I promise it’s true
I won’t let you leave; they’re all filled with greed
All they really need is your soul

Fight or run away; safer if you stay
I’m protecting you; I promise it’s true
I won’t let you leave; they’re all filled with greed
I know what’s best for you, my child

I can’t look, I must avert my gaze
Fight or run away; safer if you stay
I’m protecting you; I promise it’s true
I won’t let you leave; they’re all filled with greed
I’m trapped in my protective haze

I can’t let you go; no one has to know
It is never clear; why you are left here

I can’t bring myself to hurt you
Innocent and merciful young child
I can’t see how or why it was that you were exiled
Every time you look into my eyes
For your troubles I apologize
All they really need’s your soul
I know what is best for you

I did not expect; you to leave me yet
I thought you might stay; for another day
My eyes start to glaze; every time we lock gazes

I know that it’s wrong; but follow along
It may be selfish; but it’s for the best
Tears forming quickly; I can’t let another one die

Bandage on your face; a stick in your hand
That look of confusion in your eyes
What are you trying to prove this way?
My eyes start to glaze; every time we lock gazes

Determination; it rests in your heart
Know it’s waiting to tear me apart
But it seems you continue sparing me

I can’t handle another death
I accept your merciful regards
Though I don’t deserve such niceties coming from you
I’m sorry for putting you through this
I hope you’ll survive on your own
Hug you goodbye and let you go

Once again
Human stands
Across from
My torn heart

It won’t take
Very long
Despite your mercy
I know you’re very strong

I must fight
For my peoples’ hope
I must strive
To claim the last soul

You seem set
On speaking with me
But I stay silent
Human, please

Please fight back
I don’t want to win
No mercy
Not even in the end

Swing your knife
I’m sorry for this
I won’t let you miss
Human please

I can’t
Take this anymore; conscience is too sore
Stop trying to speak; you’re making me weak
Weapon of your choice; just don’t use your voice
There’s no way to push mercy

I have to do this; I just have one wish
Please just take my soul; I am much too old
Monsters in despair; it can’t be repaired
There’s no way to push mercy

Repeating those words: I don’t want to hurt
I know it’s the case; though we must erase
It’s the only way; there’s nothing to say
There’s no way to push mercy

You are the last soul; you are the last hope
You are the last step; you are the last jump
The final human; fighting to the end
There’s no way to push mercy

What is in that pie? Memories and lies
I still miss her smile; won’t you stay awhile?
That’s impossible; I’m responsible
There’s no way to push mercy

I can’t let you win; your life has to end
Wish it wasn’t true; it’s all up to you
Finish me off first; though I am unversed
I’m sorry that it’s hurting

Look at my eyes; you know it’s not alright
I feel so torn
For my people
I stand tall
And put on a brave face

But inside
I don’t want to erase
A child
So merciful a child

Going through the same grey motions
Over and over again
Does it really matter even
Though I have been condemned?

Trying my resolve, I falter
My intentions were clear
Finally you start to strike me
And tears begin to appear

There will be no talking from this point on
You’ve done everything in your power to act
And I cannot take this battle’s stress anymore
It seems that we are close
This is the end

There is nothing left for you to do here
So take my soul now and cross the barrier
I am so glad that you succeeded in the end

I try to force a smile
The ending of this trial
It seems this was worthwhile
They can’t up stand your guile

The seconds are crawling
My weapon is falling
Goodbye
