|
Forming the water around me / |
|
I was protected from the truth |
|
Innocent cries / |
|
A child's closed eyes / |
|
How I was to know |
|
A normal life growing up / |
|
Taught wrong from right / |
|
The does & don'ts |
|
Then the world's sphere got off it's spin / |
|
And threw me in a new mold |
|
I'm on the shelf |
|
At 15 I fell in love / |
|
And ran away from life |
|
I didn't know how to feel / |
|
But what I felt sure felt right |
|
5 years later / |
|
I met this girl / |
|
And she showed me the light |
|
The plot twists and turns / |
|
Leaving one for the other |
|
In order to be saved? |
|
Now I stare at the readings of my life |
|
Page after page / |
|
They don't paint a pretty picture of me |
|
Eyes wide / |
|
As I pull another book from off the shelf |
|
When does the heartache end / |
|
Of a life torn between |
|
These 2 book ends |
|
Life is a tale told by a fool / |
|
Signifying nothing |
|
I thought what I did was right / |
|
By leaving the past behind |
|
But now all I see is a trail of pain and misery |
|
So I beg you to search your heart / |
|
Or might your books read like these |
|
Now they stare at the readings of my life |
|
Page after page / |
|
They don't paint a pretty picture of me |
|
Eyes wide / |
|
As they pull another book from off the shelf |
|
When does the heartache end / |
|
Of a life torn between |
|
These 2 book ends... |
