When we first met the well was dry
|
A long dark winter passed us by
|
With shooting stars and hopeful hearts our worlds collide
|
And so we rushed to fill each other in
|
|
Quick to feed our hungry hopes
|
A feast of our affections we were born anew
|
|
With open eyes we tried to make it work
|
And for a while the magic took
|
But cracks began to show as soon as things got hard
|
Like paper walls our feelings tore
|
We threw our backs against the door
|
Unwilling to bear witness to the other side
|
|
Oh, the games we play to hide the tangled dread inside
|
The fear that we are going nowhere fast
|
We point the finger out, the anger gets so loud
|
It drowns out all the sorrow, at least until tomorrow...what then?
|
|
I took a good hard look at how I loved
|
Years I squandered falling fast
|
For any boy who'd have me was so insecure
|
I'd lie awake alone at night
|
Full of loathing, compromised
|
And wondering how the hell did I end up like this
|
|
Oh, the tears of rage I cried, when nowhere could I find
|
An answer that made any kind of sense to me
|
I point the finger out, the anger gets so loud
|
It drowns out all the sorrow, at least until tomorrow...
|
|
Oh I wanna learn, I wanna know
|
Will our history crush us or can we let it go?
|
I'm not the girl I was but what have I become?
|
I'm not so willing anymore to bend
|
Still pleasing and conceding
|
But I'm not gonna lose myself again
|
