Crystal
SHE CAME INTO MY LIFE
BY A KNOCK AT MY DOOR
A STRANGER WHO’S INTEREST IN ME
MADE ME FEEL FEELING’S FOR ANOTHER
I HAD NEVER FELT BEFORE
SHE WAS THE FIRST TRUE LOVE
THAT I EVER NEW
I DID’NT KNOW HOW TO REACT
OR QUITE WHAT TO DO
SHE MADE ME FEEL SO SPECIAL
AND SO ALIVE
I WISH I COULD HAVE THOSE DAY’S BACK
I WOULD’NT HAVE LET THAT LOVE DIE
THERE WHERE SO MANY TIMES
I PRAY’ED AND CRIED
THAT YOU MY LOVE
WOULD GIVE ME ANOTHER TRY
THEN WHEN YOU DID
I DID’NT EVEN KNOW
BECAUSE I WAS KILL’ING THE PAIN WITH DRUGS
SO THAT IT WOULD’NT SHOW
YES I SCREWED IT ALL UP
WHEN I STARTED CHANGING
I SHOULD’VE JUST BEEN MYSELF
THE ONE YOU HAD FELT
WAS SENT FROM UP ABOVE
AND MAYBE TODAY
WE’DE STILL BE IN LOVE
BUT INEVITABLY TIME CONTINUED TO PASS
AND THE DISTANCE BETTWEN US
BECAME SO VAST
DAY’S TURNED TO MONTH’S
AND MONTH’S TO YEAR’S
THE MORE I REALIZED
THE MORE I SHEAD TEAR’S
ITS GOTEN TO A POINT NOW
THAT EVEN TODAY
I STILL REGRET
LETING YOU GET AWAY
YOU WERE THE LOVE OF MY YOUTH
YOU WERE SOMETHING BRAND NEW
THAT’S WHY WHEN I’M ROAMING THE STREET’S
I’M LOOKING FOR YOU.
