i know i can't take back
all the things i've done
when the past keeps haunting me
and there's nowhere i can run
curled up inside the darkness
that's buried deep in me
confined within this lonely wall
yearning to be free
alone within the velvet silence
that consumes us all
insisting on the struggle
just to see the fall
and somewhere deep inside i know
it can never be the same
waiting in the jaded twilight
to hear you whispering my name
the words that used to come so freely
your beautiful eyes reveal
what we've all been thinking
and how we truely feel
but the words no longer grace the lips
of the ones who dare to dance
let loose upon the wings of joy
we don't get a second change
so i will live my life for you
that perhaps one day we'll tell
of tears and pain with endless sorrow
on the day our innocence fell
