| 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. |
