All the things their tellin' me
Reflecting on my history.
What's right what's wrong.
Can't they tell that it's all gone?

Here they go sayin' this and that.
But don't they know their words are flat.
And there they go sayin' that and this.
But all I crave is your soft kiss.

So now I turn to face the truth.
Open my eyes & see the proof.
A ten year lie that ripped my soul.
I stepped outside - my heart grew cold.

Driving down that lonely road.
Forced to face the night alone.
Won't count on anyone - only me.
And this is the way it has to be.

My tears have dried - I stare ahead.
Is this the path I fear to tread?
Why when darkest is the day,
seems the time you pull away?

Brought to that place I stand alone.
I feel stronger now but my heart is stone.
Scared to death to feel again.
But frightened that this dream will end.

To begin again to begin again.
Shakes me to my soul.
To live again to love again
to warm me when I'm old.

To breath again to bleed again.
The stabbing pain takes it's toll.
To learn again to laugh again
To take my heart off hold.
