"The truth is, everyone is going to hurt you. You just got to find the ones worth suffering for."-Bob Marley


I dream of this moment
the moment when
fear'd disappear
from my eyes
when I could look straight at your face
and firmly hold my place
all your power over me
gone

I'd grab you by the arm
and push you against a wall
I'd hold you there
while I told it all
from the beginning
to my fall
because you told me all the time
you wanted to know
here's the chance I'm giving
so sit back and watch the show

(chorus)
I fell for those big blue eyes years ago
but year after year
I'd let you go
I couldn't see our future
I can't see it still
You thought it was happily ever after
the perfect wedding on a hill
well it's not going down
not without some miracle
if love was in your heart
you'd change
you'd be there every time
but every time I stood alone again
searching in the mirror
and praying for a friend
but I still don't believe
he'll be there in the end...

someday I'll get the nerve
someday I'll get the gull
I think I'll reach it soon
as my brim's tipping full
I can't stand another dream
that morning hours take away
without you telling me everything
I can't stand another day
well you first
still playing like a child
your request is weakening my fears
so soon I believe

I'll grab you by the arm
and push you against a wall
I'll hold you there
while I'll tell it all
from the beginning
to my fall
because you told me all the time
you wanted to know
here's the chance I'm giving
so sit back and watch the show

(chorus)

I don't believe you'll be there
when that would mean
good morning beautiful
and goodnight gorgeous
I love just to look in your eyes
you're everything I want
everything I need
and I can't live without you by my side
I can not truly live
without the love of my life
promise me that
next time
