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 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 falling 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 say goodbye.
|
|
The 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
|
|
Twentyfive years from now
|
What will we have?
|
A pile of ash
|
Of what could have been
|
|
|
Treasures can slip through your fingertips
|
And sapphires melt in your hand
|
As I gaze in your jaded eyes
|
I pray that this world 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 missed it
|
Sometimes when our backs are turned
|
A 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
|
Has 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 jewl gem-stoned memories
|
To jaded guarded energies
|
To just gentle victory
|
I know we couldn't last
|
|
Tell me what I've got to do
|
Tell me what I've got to do
|
To get inside your heart.
|
|
|
Where do we go
|
When there are no more conspiracies?
|
When there's only you and only me
|
Seeing each other for the very first time.
|
|
I pledge myself
|
If you stumble I will carry you
|
And wipe away your tears
|
If you were mine.
|
|
And I'm holding out for a miracle
|
But I'm scared to let go of the blood in my hand
|
And afraid that I've run out of time for a second chance.
|
|
I wanna drown myself in your eyes
|
I wanna drown myself
|
I wanna believe
|
But I'm scared that your lying.
|
|
Please tell me there's hope
|
For the ghost of a second chance
|
For the ghost of a second chance.
|
|
|
Chances are meant
|
Meant to be taken
|
But my life's so fragile
|
And it's breaking into pieces.
|
|
Somebody help me
|
I feel like I'm dying
|
And I reaching for your hand
|
But it's not there.
|
|
And I pray that we 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
|
Of me and you.
|
|
Treasures have slipped through my fingertips
|
And the sapphires melted 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 sapphires melted from my hand
|
I say goodbye to your jaded eyes
|
As we reach our unnatural end.
