Reaching For My Love While She Gets Further Away

Dancing forever on the razors edge

Climbing all day without leaving the ledge

Cutting myself and no one sees me bleed

Having it all but not knowing what I need

Gaining a minute but loosing an hour

Tasting your sweet but coming up sour

Loosing my religion but believing his word

Listening all night but not hearing a single word

Begging for the truth but wanting a lie

Living fast forever while I painfully and slowly die

Having tomorrow but always loosing today

Reaching for my love while she gets further away
