A Love That Cannot Be

Remember when you couldn't understand
Why she brought you to the ground?
And as your pillars crumbled into sand
She turned away without a sound

Now you try to gather your emotions
Scattered by the winds
Of her sudden change of heart

Don't surrender to the past
Remove those chains
Set your tired body free
Take the heart away and what remains?
Tears for a love that cannot be

The hunger for the notion of her name
The inspiration for a song
A whisper overcomes the candle's flame
What kept it burning for so long?

Struggle with this pain as your burden
How long can you bear this unwilling memory?

Don't surrender to the past
Remove those chains
Set your tired body free
Take the heart away and what remains?
Tears for a love that cannot be

Now the tattered bonds have been broken
No more are you punished and enslaved by your regrets

Don't surrender to the past
Remove those chains
Set your tired body free
Take the heart away and what remains?
Tears for a love that

 

People in this World

Of all the people in this world
Few are dreamers
Are they afraid to fall?

No more laughing
They can't comprehend it all
Why we came here
Why we were born to fall

Why did we come here?
Falling, falling

We were given life
To open our eyes
Not to be afraid of what we can't see

Why did we come here?
Falling, falling
Falling, we're falling in love

 

Shame

You brought me into this world
And I owe you my existence
We were so young and so in love
But here's the end of our experience
Was I left to take the blame
As I hold my head in shame?

I'll never know how much I hurt you
I couldn't see it in your eyes
I've been searching through this barren heart
To find the truth in all these lies
Was I left to take the blame
As I hold my head in shame?
For once in my life
I can feel the pan and it's getting stronger
I waited for you
But I was all alone and I couldn't wait any longer

 

The Way that I Loved You

Believing what we had could last much longer
Sharing love was all that mattered
But now my heart's been shattered
You told me that now you were no longer lonely
And my love had lost its meaning
Can you feel the hurt I'm feeling?
Some things are better left unsaid
But now my doubts are there instead
The anguish fills my eyes

The memories of the days when we were lovers
There was more left to discover
About one another
The day came when my world became so empty
Only trust could ever save me
But now my faith betrays me

And now I'm standing all alone
Too young to make it on my own
So lonely without you

I love you more than words can say
But the pain is always in the way
I don't want you to see me cry
When we must say our last goodbye

I have no one but me to blame
And things will never be the same
Don't think I could ever love again
The way that I loved you

Cry to Myself

I'm lost without your eyes
I can't see my world changing so fast
And now I leave behind
The part of me that thought that this could last

I never let them see me cry to myself
I never let them know that I need somebody else
Don't ever want to feel this way again

There once was a time
I thought I could give you the world
But you turned it all away
I only got nothing in return

I never let them see me cry to myself
I never let them know that I need somebody else
Don't want to feel this way again


Rain

All this time
All alone and who could I believe was waiting?
And I needed the warmth of the sun
But the glow that once filled this house was fading

Like a light rain falling
You entered my fire
Cooled my burning lips
Not my desire

And the rain beads down my face
But I don't mind
You are the reason

All this time
I was wrong to think I could never love again
And you gave me the night
When I thought it was the day that had no end

Hear the children laughing
Playing in the fall
Walking hand in hand
We can't believe it all

And the rain beads down my face
But I don't mind
You are the reason

All around us flowers
Dying yesterday
But today, this moment
They live for one more day

And the rain beads down my face
But I don't mind
You are the reason

 

Stronger is the Soul

Boarding a train on a dead-end line
The old man stumbles while the engine whines
And he takes his place with the younger crowd
Where sympathy is not allowed
He reaches for his favorite book
So compelled to take a look
All the pages are yellow and the print is gray
But the words keep him alive from day to day

Remembering those yesterdays
When a young man caught a woman's gaze
And in that second he claimed to see
What would become this memory
The lines give way to a smile on his face
When he dreams of going to a higher place
Where there is no hunger, there is no pain
And to see her shining face again

All the years have finally taken their toll
Weaker is the body
Stronger is the soul One day the old man isn't on the train
And no one's missed him, just the same
But there were angels waiting on the other side
To take him on his own eternal ride
