The glossy pink ribbon shone from the stage light.
My feet ache from the pain i am to face everyday,
I feel as if to slowly collapse under the fatigue of my weak frame.
I must keep pushing if i am to be perfect.
My spirit is heavy and I am trying to carry my feet,
if I make a mistake everyone will see.
The music is getting louder and my heart is pounding.
My legs feel torn, the pain i can't bear.
My heart is so heavy i can barley carry it across the stage.
On with the show.

When things were beautiful,
You said we'd last forever.
When things got rough,
You said you'd never leave.
When I got a little crazy,
You said I love you baby.
Now it seems, I'm standing alone.
New Loves make the heart go numb,
Although in my heart,
I know you're the one.
Deep inside there's a feeling ,
I know only you can give.
The only obstruction,
Can my broken heart forgive?
And if I never find another,
If there is no love for me,
Thank you for our time together,
And if you have time,
Think of me.
