I've hardly been outside my room in days,
|
'cause I don't feel that I deserve the sunshine's rays.
|
The darkness helped until the whiskey wore away,
|
And it's then I realize the conscience never fades.
|
When you're young you have this image of your life:
|
That you'll be scrupulous and one day even make a wife.
|
And you make boundaries you'd never dream to cross,
|
And if you happen to you wake completely lost.
|
But I will fight for you, be sure that
|
I will fight until we're the special two once again.
|
|
And we will only need each other, we'll bleed together,
|
Our hands would not be taught to hold another's,
|
When we were the special two.
|
And we could only see each other, we'd bleed together,
|
These arms will not be taught to need another,
|
'Cause we were the special two.
|
|
I remember someone old once said to me:
|
"Lies will lock you up with truth the only key."
|
But I was comfortable and warm inside my shell,
|
And couldn't see this place would soon become my hell.
|
So is it better to tell and hurt or lie to save their face?
|
Well I guess the answer is don't do it in the first place.
|
I know I'm not deserving of your trust from you right now,
|
But if by chance you change your mind you know I will not
|
Let you down 'cause we were the special two, and will be again.
|
|
And we will only need each other, we'll breathe together,
|
Our hands will not be taught to need another's,
|
When we're the special two.
|
And we could only see each other we'll bleed together,
|
These arms will not be taught to need another...
|
|
I step outside my mind's eye's for a minute.
|
And I look over me like a doctor looking for disease,
|
Or something that could ease the pain.
|
But nothing cures the hurt you, you bring on by yourself,
|
Just remembering, just remembering how we were...
