On that fateful moonlit night
Sacrificed without a fight
Victim of circumstance.
Now that I've become aware
And I've exposed this tragedy
Sadness grows inside of me
It all seems so unfair
Im learning all about my life
By looking through her eyes
Just beyond the churchyard gates
Where the grass is overgrown
I saw the writing on her stone
I felt like I would suffocate
In loving memory of our child
So innocent, eyes open wide
I felt so empty as I cried
Like part of me had died.
Im learning all about my life
By looking through her eyes
As her image wandered through my head
I felt just like a baby as I lay awake and wept
I know what it's like to lose someone you love
And this felt, just the same.
She wasn't given any choice
Desparation stole her voice
I've been given so much more in life
I've got a son, I've got a wife
I had to suffer on last time.
To grieve for her and say good-bye
Relive the anguish of my past
Find out who I was at last.
The door has opened wide
Turning with the tide
Looking through her eyes.
With my broken wing
Someone who can soar again.
Lord let me in
All the passion the pain and the hurt
I feel like Im falling
For all those who cant spread love
And all those who cant take it
Stand up
Baby we're gonna make it
In the words of Marvin Gaye "war is not the answer"
No body loves the rain
Cant stand it
It's just those rainy days
Spend a lifetime tryin to wash away
Til the sun comes out and shines again.
That's why I couldn't stay
Too many ghosts
Too many haunted dreams
Besides, you're built to find your own way.
But after all these years
I thought we'd still hold on
When I reach for you and search your eyes
I see you've already gone
That's OK
I"ll be fine
I've got myself, I"ll heal in time
But when you leave just remember what we've had
There's more to life than just you
I may cry but I'll make it through
And I know that the sun will shine again
Though I may think of you now and then.
Can't do a thing with ashes
But throw them to the wind
His heart may be in pieces now
You know I'll mend it up again and
I'll come back stronger
Than I ever did before
Just dont turn around when you walk out that door
That's OK
I'll be fine
I've got myself, I'll heal in time
When you leave just remember what we've had
There's more to life than just you
I may cry but I'll make it through
But when you leave, just remembe what we've had.
Now our stories at the end
Though I may think of you now and then
So I wont be so far away
If you try and look for me
Maybe you'll find me someday
Heaven is a place nearby
So there's no need to say good-bye
Im gonna ask you not to cry
I'll always be by your side
You just faded away
You spread your wings
You have flown
Away to someplace unknown
Wish I could bring you back
You're always on my mind
About to tear myself apart
You have your special place in my heart.
Heaven is a place nearby
So I wont be so far away
If you try and look for me
Maybe you'll find me someday
Heaven is a place nearby
So there's no need to say Good-bye
Im gonna ask you not to cry
I'll always be by your side.
All my life
Though some have changed
Some forever not for better
Some have gone and some remain.
All these places have their moments.
Of lovers and friends, I still can recall
Some are dead and some are living
In my life, I've loved them all
And with all these friends and lovers
There is no one that compares with you
And these memories lose their meaning
When I think of love as something new
And I know that I'll never lose affection
For people and things that went before
I know'll often stop and think about them
In my life, I loved you more
Found how fast she could take it away
Found true love and lost your heart
Now you dont know who you are
She made it easy, made it free
Made you hurt til you couldn't see
Sometimes it stops and sometimes it goes
Baby, that is how love goes
You will fly and you will crawl
Gotta know even angels fall
You lost your dream and you lost it all
Gotta know even angels fall
It's a secret that no one tells
One day it's heaven and one day it's hell
It's no fairytale, take it from me
But that's the way it's supposed to be.
Dragging you across my wrist
If I could just reclaim myself,
Find another cure for this. Im slippin, pullin, too ripped up to move
Im slippin, pullin, too ripped up to move.
I cant do this alone
I cant go through this without you
I cant do this alone
I cant do this at all.
I cant do this at all
I gotta keep this going on my own, wish I could pay you back the waste of time.
