i knew you wanted to tell me
in your voice there was something wrong
but if you would tell me you're so strong…
but i stuck by you holding on with foolish pride
waiting for you to give in
you never really tried or so it seems
i've had more than myself to blame
i've had enough of trying everything
and this time it is the end…
funny how it seems that all i've tried to do
seemed to make no difference to you at all… ~the path of thorns

i drew bitter tears at the ocean
but all that came back was the tide ~i will not forget you

i want it all to go away i want to be alone ~lost

so unfair they can make you feel so small ~back door man

look at the child with the dream in her eyes
holding it deep inside her…
so much anger, so deeply engrained
seemed a burden that was hers alone
she didn't think there was anything wrong
wanting a life that she could call her own… ~home

the night is my companion and solitude my guide
would i spend forever here and not be satisfied…
through this world i've stumbled so many times… ~possession

under a blackened sky far beyond the glaring steetlights
sleeping on empty dreams the vultures lie in wait… ~wait

i used to think my life was often empty
a lonely space to fill you
you hurt me more than i ever could have imagined
you made my world stand still… ~plenty

i never would have opened up
but you seem so real to me
after all the bullshit i heart
it's refreshing not to see
i don't have to pretend
she doesn't expect it from me…
so don't tell me i haven't been good to you
don't tell me i haven't been there for you
just tell me why nothing is good enough…
so don't tell me why he's never been good to you
don't tell me why he's never been there for you
i'll tell you that why simply isn't good enough
just let me try and i'll be good to you
just let me try and i will be there for you
i'll show you why you're so much more than good enough… ~good enough

What kind of love is this
that keeps me hanging on
despite everything it's doing to me
what is this love
that keeps me coming back
for more when it will only end in misery… ~circle

hold on, hold on to yourself
for this is gonna hurt like hell… ~hold on

it's a long way down to the place where we started from… ~ice cream

i have so much to lose here in this lonely place… ~fear
