Deal With It

I don’t know how to feel And I don’t know how And I don’t know how to deal With this shame somehow I don’t know how to feel And I don’t know how And I don’t know how to deal With this broken vow... And a beautiful bow left untaken Words that are left unspoken... Why have I forsaken All that is broken? Still left unsure in the touch of your absence Still left with no cure or healing of deliverance Will you save me from my tears of shame? Will you braven my heart that is so untame? In vain, I cry these sad tears Again, I try to live these years Drenched in silence once more Let my silhouetted soul soar...soar...soar... My silhouetted soul soar all the more... What do I live for? What do I strive for? When will I forever be in your embrace? How will I survive these waves of emotion? Where is paradise? Is it on your face? Or am I keeping pace on the wrong race and treading down yet another ocean Trace me feelings of happiness For, I don’t know how to feel Embrace me with cheerfulness For, I don’t know how to deal I don’t know how to deal Don’t know how to deal I don’t know how to feel And I don’t know how And I don’t know how to deal With this sorrow in my soul I’m left empty as a whole... I don’t know how to feel And I don’t know how No, I don’t know how to deal With tomorrow as it approaches me With yesterday behind me...finally... Still left unsure in the touch of your absence Still left with no cure or healing of deliverance Will you save me from my tears of shame? Will you braven my heart that is so untame? In vain, I cry these sad tears Again, I try to live these years Drenched in silence once more Let my silhouetted soul soar...soar...soar... My silhouetted soul soar all the more... What do I live for? What do I strive for? When will I forever be in your embrace? How will I survive these waves of emotion? Where is paradise? Is it on your face? Or am I keeping pace on the wrong race and treading down yet another ocean Trace me feelings of happiness For, I don’t know how to feel Embrace me with cheerfulness For, I don’t know how to deal I don’t know how to deal Don’t know how to deal I don’t know how to feel And I don’t know how And I don’t know how to deal With this joy in mind and heart Will it eventually tear me apart? I don’t know how to feel And I don’t know how And I don’t know how to deal With this loved one in my dreams Am I falling at the seams? It seems As if I’m falling and calling your name I’m not one to blame - only this shame Still left unsure in the touch of your absence Still left with no cure or healing of deliverance Will you save me from my tears of shame? Will you braven my heart that is so untame? In vain, I cry these sad tears Again, I try to live these years Drenched in silence once more Let my silhouetted soul soar...soar...soar... My silhouetted soul soar all the more... What do I live for? What do I strive for? When will I forever be in your embrace? How will I survive these waves of emotion? Where is paradise? Is it on your face? Or am I keeping pace on the wrong race and treading down yet another ocean Trace me feelings of happiness For, I don’t know how to feel Embrace me with cheerfulness For, I don’t know how to deal I don’t know how to deal Don’t know how to deal I don’t know how to feel I don’t know how And I don’t know how I don’t know how for real You are with your words Or is it like flying birds? These emotions I shed I can’t cradle them to bed These oceans I bred I can’t handle them instead Will you help me out? Will you seek me out? Will I drown in doubt? Will I find a way out Of this cold-hearted chamber Or this lonesome route I won’t act immature, but I’m left unsure Still left unsure in the touch of your absence Still left with no cure or healing of deliverance Will you save me from my tears of shame? Will you braven my heart that is so untame? In vain, I cry these sad tears Again, I try to live these years Drenched in silence once more Let my silhouetted soul soar...soar...soar... My silhouetted soul soar all the more... What do I live for? What do I strive for? When will I forever be in your embrace? How will I survive these waves of emotion? Where is paradise? Is it on your face? Or am I keeping pace on the wrong race and treading down yet another ocean Trace me feelings of happiness For, I don’t know how to feel Embrace me with cheerfulness For, I don’t know how to deal I don’t know how to deal Don’t know how to deal Know that I will deal with this shame from the start I don’t know how to feel I will show you that I am a long-lost man with a heart I don’t know how to deal I am not your toy or your boy to play around with I don’t know how to feel I am not a puppet on a string to get attached with I don’t know how to deal I am feeling close to nothing Won’t you feel for me, darling? Bring me the horizon of hope, the horizon of hope that’s above this slope So I can cope...with these emotions that dangle on a rather lonely rope How do I deal with it? How can I heal from it?
