I still want you
more than they ever could
only thing is I'm afraid to try
gun shy,
scarred and torn
by all these changing forms of circumstance ...

you've got to know, how could you not
be well aware
it's my cross to bear as I travel down this lonely road
my own fault,
I'm to blame
yet, I reach for you across these satin sheets
remembering,
oh! how I remember ...

It was me who craved honey and blue skies
all the time
'til you,
who taught me strength of darkened hues of truth
astounding,
something I never knew or cared to view
I'm such a fool ...

there is a place for us beyond this realm
if only,
I had been the one to take that leap, but
I turned around and ran,
and we'll never know
is what I tell myself
to ease this aching soul of mine
to try and stop this pain
to myself, my heart, my everything ...

I bought the lie
tried the case,
a love this grand seems far beyond my reach
at times I feel unworthy,
I don't have a chance
yet here I stand, still dreaming ...
