Hypnotized and Paralyzed

One night darkness surrounded us Holding on tightly to each other and such Yet our feelings for one another We still didn't trust Even though there was love in our eyes When we gazed into each others You know the kind of love that has you hypnotized Leaves your souls paralyzed We still let the other go The move I had made which made it all happen was bold When your goodbye to me was told My blood ran cold Something about that night Never was far from ever being right You and I were meant to fit Each and every little bit Moving on is easier when you believe The control you think you have over yourself will never leave Was I ever fooling myself You are the only one I could never really let completely leave my thoughts You always told me stop having self doubts Was with him for years He caused me lots of lonely tears And drowned me in lots of self doubt Was never sure if I would ever be strong enough to get out But I did and yet all that time All those years had past by And I found that you were the one still on my mind Some people have said leave this alone Go free be on your own You can't go back Some tell me give it all you got Go on give it another shot Time's to fragile to waste Yeah we can't go back From where we once were at But I don't think we need to Even if the feelings we had for each other may have been hiding for so long It don't mean they are still not there as before It don't mean they are still not just as strong The love has always been there all along We don't need to go back Life is to fragile to waste Together we can move forward And at a much slower pace We're older and wiser then years past Back when we took things to fast Slow it down and make it last Once again we could have the darkness surround us Holding on tightly to each other and such This time in our feelings for one another we can trust Let the love in our eyes take us once again by surprise As we gaze and can't look away cause we're hypnotized Our souls paralyzed
