Told me to find myself
And I tried
What was there was beautiful
Or had the potential to be
And I believed and you believed
The reflection was ugly
Chorus:
And I, I looked to the skies
Averted my eyes
And I, I reached out for love
And couldn't reach far enough
The flower that you gave me wilted
It wasn't strong or alive
Just a paper sham
It lay down upon my heart
On a marble stand for all to see
And I, intrigued, and you, intrigued
Saw we were unworthy
Chorus:
And I, I looked to the skies
Averted my eyes
And I, I reached out for love
And couldn't reach far enough
And I, I collapsed in pain
And you still rained
And I, I fell to my knees
And lost you to the seas
Chorus:
And I, I looked to the skies
Averted my eyes
And I, I reached out for love
And couldn't reach far enough
