|
The road I've walked for my whole life |
|
Has brought me to this crossroads |
|
And I'm standing here beside you |
|
I know you've never been someone |
|
To take things on a leap of faith |
|
Please trust me once and never cry again |
|
Hold my hand |
|
We can take this slowly |
|
And see where it might lead |
|
Going into, going into, going into, going into you |
|
And everything seemed to make sense |
|
The first time that things seemed to fall in place |
|
Just for a little while |
|
And now my hopes and dreams are burning down |
|
Claw out my eyes |
|
I'd rather be blind |
|
Than to see you turn around |
|
And walk away from me |
|
Tear off my ears |
|
I'd rather be deaf |
|
Than hear you |
|
Saying goodbye |
|
Lucky ones will never |
|
Share what we've shared |
|
For I'm damned to know |
|
Exactly just what might have been |
|
Can't somebody stop this? |
|
I feel like I'm drowning |
|
And everywhere I turn the water's deeper |
|
It would tear out my heart |
|
To be nothing more to you |
|
Than a smile that occasionally |
|
Crosses your face |
|
Twenty five years from now |
|
What will we have? |
|
A pile of ash called |
|
What could have been? |
|
Treasures can slip through your fingertips |
|
And sapphires melt in your hands |
|
As I gaze in your jaded eyes |
|
I pray that this road isn't ending |
|
Walking down this road |
|
I thought I felt you hold my hand |
|
But looking I can see my palm is empty |
|
How can you turn from me? |
|
All that I wanted |
|
Was to catch the stars and lay them at your feet |
|
It would tear out my heart |
|
To be nothing more to you |
|
Than a smile that occasionally |
|
Crosses your face |
|
Treasures can slip through your fingertips |
|
And sapphires melt in your hands |
|
You turn to me with your jaded eyes |
|
And I'm scared that I know how this ends |
|
And everything fell into place |
|
But now it is falling apart |
|
I'm trying to hold on |
|
But I can see you fading |
|
Be quick-Or you've missed it |
|
Sometimes when our backs are turned the choice is made |
|
Once-In a lifetime |
|
If you didn't see it coming then you're much too late |
|
This self constructed prison |
|
Is comfortable and warm |
|
But I can't escape the feeling |
|
That there must be something more |
|
Everything we've been through |
|
That's made us who we are |
|
Has brought us here and now the choice is ours to make |
|
I'm begging you |
|
I'm pleading on my knees |
|
I can't believe that this was just a big mistake |
|
From jeweled gemstone memories |
|
To jaded guarded energies |
|
To just gentle victory |
|
I know we could last |
|
Tell me what I've got to do, |
|
Tell me what I've got to do, |
|
To get inside your heart |
|
Where did we go |
|
When there are no more conspiracies? |
|
When there's only you and only me |
|
Seeing each other for the first time? |
|
I pledge myself |
|
If you stumble I will carry you |
|
And wipe away the tears if you will mine |
|
And I'm holding out for a miracle |
|
But I'm scared to let go of the bird in my hand |
|
And afraid that I've run out of time for a second chance |
|
I want to drown myself in your eyes |
|
I want to believe but I'm scared that you're lying |
|
Tell me there's hope for the ghost of a second chance |
|
Chances are meant |
|
Meant to be taken |
|
But life's so fragile |
|
And it's breaking into pieces |
|
Somebody help me |
|
I feel like I'm dying |
|
And I'm reaching for your hand |
|
But it's not there |
|
And I pray we won't know |
|
What we're missing |
|
And we'll never imagine |
|
What might have been |
|
But twenty five years from now |
|
I'll still hold on |
|
To a fading dream |
|
Of me and you |
|
Treasures have slipped through my fingertips |
|
And the sapphire vanished from my hand |
|
I'll never forget the look in your eyes |
|
When you lied and said this wasn't ending |
|
Treasures have slipped through my fingertips |
|
And the sapphire vanished from my hand |
|
I say goodbye to your jaded eyes |
|
As we reach our unnatural end |
