She said: "you're such a sweet, sweet liar"
But I could never lie to you
These words I say are born from desire
My every sentiment is nothing but true
And every time I seem to start a fire (in your eyes)
It loses to the ice of your heart
But tell me, darling, aren't you tired?
Of playing hard to get, you've mastered the art
And all the pretty faces that they suggest
Fail to impress me, I don't want second best
It's everything or nothing, glory or death
'Cause you're the only one that I need to have
She took my hand and she gave me scars
"Now you'll remember me forever"
But can't you see I won't forget the one
Who turned to hell what once was heaven
But lesson's learnt, and burnt on your fire
I realised how I was wrong
Cause even though you called me the liar
You've lied to me all along
Please
Don't start
And don't stop
Let me feel you
Within you and without you
let me hold you in mine
let me feel you in my mind
let the words fall into place this time
but don't forget your joy of rhyme
so let me feel you now
in this holiest of places
this habitual sane asylum
this unforgiving tale
let me
Please
Don't fail
Let me sail
let me out of jail
don't let me be pale
im not well alone
lost in my
rivers sigh
Goodbye
And hello
Im very sorry
I did not know
I just let it show
So now you just might know
The dillemas i've so obviously been showing
The fears that i withhold from seeemingly growing
The doubts I enstowed, but never bowed
So let me know
Let me know
Let me
Please
Every time I see your face and I hear your voice,
It stirs up feelings inside that I’ve never felt before.
Was it the words you said that made me feel this way?
Maybe it was the touch of your hand,
And the smile on your face.
I think I’m falling in love with you.
Is this love that I’m feeling inside?
Is this love that is burning my heart,
And keeping me up at night.
I don’t even know what to do.
I think I’m falling in love with you.
I always lose control when you’re by my side.
You have become the light of my life.
I always enjoy the time I spend with you.
Because nothing makes me feel the way you do.
I think I’m falling in love with you.
Found some new friends last night
They gave me some things
They showed me the happy life
Gave me a pair of wings
Wings that flew forever
Never needed to rest
I guess I thought it would
All be for the best
Never told me it was dangerous
Never showed me the lie
All I saw was wonderful sunsets
And beautiful skies
They told me it would be fun
That it would be fine
Now I'm trapped in a prison
Of my own design
How did I get here?
I have forgotten the way
I tried to find the door
But they all asked me to stay
Now I'm stuck in their dimension
With no plan of release
I would take it back if I could but
I'm not ready for peace
Can't kick the habit
And I can't get away
Wish I never met those predators
But I guess I'd still be prey
Now I'll be here forever
In a tight winding dive
Never take what bad people give you
Because you won't survive
