Star crossed souls trapped behind promises
We make our way through the dark any way we can
we find peace burning away at the end of the day
Lost in a smoke filled room we hear only the voices
Every fight, every aspiration gone wrong, every tear
We miss the days gone by when life seemed clear
We find our forgotten selves hiding in the shadows
Shying away from the world for fear of them seeing
Seeing the fire that still burns inside us
The need to taste passion for the bittersweetness
So we reach out across the miles and find other pieces
Other lost souls in need of redemption
And we find a moment of peace within them
I can't get through this day
I give up my will to the angel at my side
I lose myself in the mist, the darkness inside me
She carries me through the night
She kisses away my tears, the nightmares and fears
So pretty in my pain, tear stained eyes, shattered dreams
I pass between worlds as she fights my demons
She sees the light in me, that fear has blinded me of
She sees what others do not see
So run, run, run, run little angel
Save me, if it feels right...if you know...if it's me you need
I can hear their screams, other lost souls
Sickened in the sun, my soul feels broken
She holds me down to earth and screams "LIVE,LOVE,LAUGH"
I awoke and was alone, alone and alive
I looked to my side and saw no one but me
My reflection in the wind, the angel inside was me
A new day is given, a new canvas
A new place to paint a life in vivid color.
At last I sigh...
Kept at arms length
Saving myself from you
I won't let you in
I can't let you see
I can't open myself
The darkness will enter
It will find it's home in my heart
There won't be room for you
the fear and doubt crowds in
You could be anything
I give up my way
And lose myself...not today...
Too much to lose
Don't dare tell me you love me
Do you know what love is?
You held me down and screamed
you wanted me to love or die
I make my own way
Without your hand, lost and alone
but safe...
Never knowing which is worse...
Alone and dead, or broken and alive...
