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.
